SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WRITING DATA TO A DIRECTORY

摘要

A system and method are provided for processing directory service operations. The system includes a client device communicatively coupled to one or more directory servers. Each directory server includes a communications interface, a storage mechanism, and an evaluation module. According to an exemplary embodiment, the storage mechanism is a non-persistent storage mechanism which increases read and write performance. When a directory server receives a directory service operation, it determines whether it is capable of processing the operation, and if so, processes it with respect to its non-persistent storage mechanism. If the directory service operation is an update operation, the operation is broken up into permanent data and temporary data. The permanent data is written to a persistent storage mechanism whereas the temporary data is written to a non-persistent storage mechanism. In some embodiments, the permanent data is additionally written to a non-persistent storage mechanism.
