Abstract

In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing multiple transaction logs in a distributed storage system are provided. A log stream component detects performance metrics of a plurality of log streams. The performance metrics are associated with requests from partitions in the distributed storage system. A transaction component receives a request to execute a transaction using a log stream. The request is received from a partition of the distributed storage system. The performance metrics of the plurality of log streams can be referenced, where the performance metrics indicate a performance capacity of a selected log stream to process the request. A log stream for executing the transaction is determined based on the performance capacity. The log stream selected can also factor request attributes of the request. The transaction component communicates the request to be executed, using the log stream to perform the transaction.
