Abstract

The current document describes a storage system that provides a storage volume with a block-data interface to one or more clients. The storage system provides a key-value store that is associated with the storage volume. The clients access the key-value store via a key-value interface that provides a number of key-value operations to read, write, list, and delete key-value records from the key-value store. In some implementations, the key-value interface provides additional key-value operations that support the use of the key-value store by more than one client at a time. An environment in which the key-value store is used by the clients to retain I/O throttling parameters is described.
