    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for renaming a database table with minimized application downtime are disclosed. A database receives a table rename request for a table having a first table name. Routing metadata comprises a mapping of the first table name to a table identifier and a mapping of the table identifier to one or more partitions. The table rename request indicates a second table name. The database generates updated routing metadata responsive to the table rename request. The updated routing metadata comprises a mapping of the second table name to the table identifier and the mapping of the table identifier to the one or more partitions. The database receives, from a client application, one or more access requests indicating the second table name. The database routes the one or more access requests to the one or more partitions based at least in part on the updated routing metadata.

    Abstract: A system that implements a data storage system may store data for a database table in multiple replicated partitions on respective storage nodes. An export of an active database partition may generate an exported copy of the database partition. A first exported copy may be stored locally on a source node and a second exported copy of the database partition may be sent to a recipient node. The source node may validate the first copy responsive to sending the second copy and may perform the validation while the second copy is being sent and processed at the recipient node. If the first copy cannot be validated, the source node may cause the second copy to be invalidated and abort further processing of the second copy. The source node may also cause the second copy to be marked as invalid to prevent reliance on an invalid database partition copy.
