Techniques for warming up a node in a distributed data store
Granted: August 18, 2020
Patent Number:
10749921
In various embodiments, a node manager configures a “new” node as a replacement for an “unavailable” node that was previously included in a distributed data store. First, the node manager identifies a source node that stores client data that was also stored in the unavailable node. Subsequently, the node manager configures the new node to operate as a slave of the source node and streams the client data from the source node to the new node. Finally, the node manager configures…
