Abstract
Methods and systems for key-value shard creation and management in a key-value store (). A method includes the steps of partitioning the key-value store () including a plurality of keyspaces (A,B) into a plurality of shards including a coordinator shard (), receiving a first shard assignment value for a first key-value pair from a key-value store client, the key-value store client having access to the key-value store, creating a first shard (A) using the first shard assignment value, the first shard including a data structure, assigning the first key-value pair to the first shard () based on the first shard assignment value, updating the coordinator shard () to reference to the first shard (A), writing the first shard (A) to a storage device, and storing modifications to the first shard (A) in a modified version of the first shard (A) while the first shard (A) remains unmodified.
