    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing object versioning in a storage system may support the logical deletion of stored objects. In response to a delete operation specifying both a user key and a version identifier, the storage system may permanently delete the specified version of an object having the specified key. In response to a delete operation specifying a user key, but not a version identifier, the storage system may create a delete marker object that does not contain object data, and may generate a new version identifier for the delete marker. The delete marker may be stored as the latest object version of the user key, and may be addressable in the storage system using a composite key comprising the user key and the new version identifier. Subsequent attempts to retrieve the user key without specifying a version identifier may return an error, although the object was not actually deleted.

    Abstract: A distributed storage system may store data object instances in persistent storage and may store keymap information for those data object instances in a distributed hash table on multiple computing nodes. Each data object instance may include a composite key containing a user key. The keymap information for each data object instance may map the user key to a locator and the locator to the data object instance. A request to store or retrieve keymap information for a data object instance may be routed to a particular computing node based on a consistent hashing scheme in which a hash function is applied to a portion of the composite key of the data object instance. Thus, related entries may be clustered on the same computing nodes. The portion of the key to which the hash function is applied may include a pre-determined number of bits or be identified using a delimiter.

    Abstract: A distributed storage system may store data object instances in persistent storage and may cache keymap information for those data object instances. The system may cache a latest symbolic key entry for some user keys of the data object instances. When a request is made for the latest version of stored data object instances having a specified user key, the latest version may be determined dependent on whether a latest symbolic key entry exists for the specified user key, and keymap information for the latest version may be returned. When storing keymap information, a flag may be set to indicate that a corresponding latest symbolic key entry should be updated. The system may delete a latest symbolic key entry for a particular user key from the cache in response to determining that no other requests involving the keymap information for data object instances having the particular user key are pending.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing object versioning in a storage system may support the logical deletion of stored objects through the use of delete marker objects. In response to a delete operation specifying a key, but not a version identifier, the storage system may create a delete marker object that is stored as the latest object version of the key. In response to performing a subsequent mutating operation, or at pre-determined time intervals, the storage system may perform a local and/or a global analysis of the delete marker objects stored in the system (and/or metadata associated with those delete marker objects) to determine whether any of them are no longer needed to ensure correct operation of the system. The analysis may apply one or more reap conditions to delete marker objects and/or metadata to identify extraneous delete marker objects, removing those that meet one or more reap conditions from storage.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a pipelined architecture for storage lifecycles are disclosed. A method includes identifying, during a transition candidate discovery iteration, storage objects of a multi-tenant service for which respective lifecycle transitions are to be scheduled, including a particular storage object identified as being a candidate for a particular lifecycle transition. The method includes generating transition job objects, each job comprising respective indications of one or more of the storage objects identified during the discovery iteration. The method includes assigning, during a transition execution iteration, resources to initiate storage operations for the particular lifecycle transition, and initiating, using the assigned resources, storage operations for the particular lifecycle transition.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for lifecycle support for storage objects are disclosed. A storage medium stores program instructions that when executed on a processor implement a storage lifecycle manager of a multi-tenant storage service. The lifecycle manager determines a lifecycle policy to be implemented for a storage object. The policy indicates lifecycle transitions of the object, including a transition from a first service level to a second service level. The first service level and the second service level may each specify a maximum number of versions of the storage object. The lifecycle manager initiates modification operations corresponding to the storage object's data in accordance with the lifecycle policy, and verifies that the modification operations succeeded. The lifecycle manager provides, in response to a query, an indication of a current service level of the storage object.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for equitable resource allocation for storage object deletions are disclosed. A storage medium stores program instructions that when executed on a processor implement a deletion task dispatcher of a multi-tenant storage service. The dispatcher identifies one or more deletion job objects that each comprise an indication of a respective set of storage objects that are candidates for scheduled deletion from the storage service. The dispatcher determines a set of resources to be used for deletion operations corresponding to a particular deletion job object, based at least in part on the number of distinct clients whose storage objects are indicated in the job object, and assigned the set of resource to initiate the deletion operations corresponding to the particular job object.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for conditional deletes of storage objects are disclosed. A storage medium comprises program instructions that when executed, implement a metadata node of a storage service in which a protocol based on sequence numbers is used to resolve update conflicts. The instructions store, as part of a conditional deletion record associated with a key of a particular storage object identified as a deletion candidate, a deletion sequence number derived from a particular modification sequence number of the object. In accordance with the protocol, the instructions determine whether an additional modification sequence number larger than the deletion sequence number has been generated in response to an operation associated with the key. If such an additional sequence number has been generated, the deletion of the storage object is canceled.
