IDENTIFYING FILES FOR DATA WRITE OPERATIONS

摘要

Techniques for identifying files for data write operations are described. According to various embodiments, streams of mixed data are sorted based on various criteria and/or filters to generate individual sets of like data. The data sets are buffered in individual data queues in preparation to be written to persistent storage. According to various embodiments, files are requested for storing the data sets. For instance, a file request is submitted that includes write parameters for a data set. Based on the write parameters, a file is identified and selected for storing the data set. An identifier for the file is provided that enables the data set to be written to the file.
