Abstract
In certain embodiments, a method includes starting an application as a first process within a user space of an operating system. The application instantiates a key-value store library associated with the operating system. The method also includes managing, by a block device service running within the user space, one or more first data blocks of a persistent storage device allocated to the key-value store library. In addition, the method includes receiving, by a kernel of the operating system, a system call request comprising an access request generated by the key-value store library. The method further includes granting, by the block device service, and in response to the access request, the key-value store library access to the one or more first data blocks through an inter process communication channel between the application and the block device service via the kernel.
