Abstract: An application programming interface for a data storage service provides a convenient mechanism for clients of the data storage service to access its various capabilities. An API call may be made to initiate a job and in response a job identifier may be provided. A separate API call specifying the job identifier may be made and a response providing information related to the job may result. Various API calls may be used to store data, retrieve data, obtain an inventory of stored data, and to obtain other information relating to stored data.

Abstract: A data storage service distributes a plurality of data fragments corresponding to a data object among one or more data storage host groupings in a manner that avoids a possibility of correlated loss of multiple data fragments by consolidation of data of a data storage host grouping onto a single data storage host. The data storage service selects a data storage host grouping and determines an amount of used capacity for the selected data storage host grouping. If the selected grouping satisfies an emptiness threshold, the data storage service selects a data storage host from the grouping and consolidates one or more data sets of the grouping onto the selected data storage host. Subsequently, the data storage service updates metadata for each data storage host of the selected data storage host grouping to specify a location of data stored therein.
