Title: Innovations by Vijayasarathy Kannan
Introduction
Vijayasarathy Kannan is a notable inventor based in Vancouver, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the field of distributed storage systems, holding 2 patents that enhance data consistency and request management.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Witness service for ensuring data consistency in a distributed storage system." This invention provides systems and methods for efficiently maintaining a transaction sequence witness service. It ensures that requests to read data yield consistent results across all storage nodes in a distributed system. When a storage node receives a request for a data object, it can obtain the latest sequence number associated with the object from the transaction sequence witness service. If the sequence number indicates that the object has been modified since the currently stored version, the node can retrieve the current version from persistent storage.
Another significant patent is "Request routing management for a distributed storage system." This invention focuses on managing data partitions in a distributed storage system. It particularly addresses the routing data used to direct requests to the appropriate caching layers and persistent storage nodes. Data items are managed in a multi-tier configuration, grouped into different partitions based on their key prefixes. When partitions are moved or cells are split, the routing data is updated accordingly. To ensure the correct routing data is utilized throughout the system, changes may be accompanied by a special barrier record written to the transaction log of affected partitions.
