EXTENSIBLE AND ELASTIC DATA MANAGEMENT SERVICES ENGINE EXTERNAL TO A STORAGE DOMAIN

摘要

A data management services architecture includes architectural components that run in both a storage and compute domains. The architectural components redirect storage requests from the storage domain to the compute domain, manage resources allocated from the compute domain, ensure compliance with a policy that governs resource consumption, deploy program code for data management services, dispatch service requests to deployed services, and monitor deployed services. The architectural components also include a service map to locate program code for data management services, and service instance information for monitoring deployed services and dispatching requests to deployed services. Since deployed services can be stateless or stateful, the services architecture also includes state data for the stateful services, with supporting resources that can expand or contract based on policy and/or service demand. The architectural components also include containers for the deployed services.

1. A method comprising:
determining a first data management service to be applied to a first data in response to receipt of the first data at a first device in a storage domain, wherein the first data is indicated in a storage input request or a storage output response; in response to a determination that the first data management service is to be applied to the first data, transmitting an indication of the first data management service from the storage domain to a second device in a compute domain; in response to receipt of the indication of the first data management service, determining a first instance of the first data management service on compute resources allocated from the compute domain in accordance with a resource consumption policy; and dispatching the first data to the first instance of the first data management service and supplying an indication of a destination in the storage domain for an output of the first instance of the first data management service processing the first data.
