Abstract
Aspects related to a resource-constrained system are described herein that can provide object storage services after a service interruption is resolved, even if all of the transactions that were pending and incomplete prior to the service interruption have not yet been recovered and/or executed. For example, file systems implemented by computing systems of the resource-constrained system may treat each file or directory as a separate object. Thus, a transaction directed to one file may not affect the file's directory or other files in the directory. As a result, the resource-constrained system can achieve read-after-write consistency without first recovering and executing the pending, incomplete transactions. Instead, read-after-write consistency for an object can be achieved simply by completing any pending, incomplete transaction directed to that object. Accordingly, the resource-constrained system can provide object storage services to user devices immediately after the service interruption is resolved, thereby resulting in fast crash recovery times.
