Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for sharding objects stored in a distributed storage system. Such sharding may be advantageously utilized for an object that stores a collection of key-value records and for otherwise encoded objects. The object sharding techniques disclosed herein advantageously enable a read-modify-write process at the storage server level. One embodiment disclosed herein provides a method of creating a new chunk by modifying a payload of an existing chunk at the storage server level in a distributed object storage system. The method includes validating the new chunk at the gateway server. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.
