Abstract

A method of managing a distributed storage space. The method comprises mapping a plurality of replica sets to a plurality of storage managing modules installed in a plurality of computing units, each of the plurality of storage managing modules manages access of at least one storage consumer application to replica data of at least one replica of a replica set from the plurality of replica sets, the replica data is stored in at least one drive of a respective the computing unit, allocating at least one time based credit to at least one of each storage managing module and the replica data, iteratively renewing the time based credit as long a failure of at least one of the storage managing module, and the at least one drive and the replica data is not detected plurality of storage managing.
