Abstract
A method for managing write buffers (WBs), that includes (i) receiving write requests for writing input information units (IIUs) to the storage system; (ii) estimating an occurrence of a future overflow of first WBs that are allocated, during steady state operation, to store IIUs before the IIUs are processed and migrated to a permanent storage; and (iii) responding to the estimating by (a) storing at least some IIUs at second WBs without temporarily storing the at least some of the IIUs in the first WBs; (b) reducing a rate of a migration of IIUs from the first WBs and the second WBs to the permanent storage; and (c) introducing intentional delays in handling an ingestion of one or more newly received write requests.
