Techniques for error handling in parallel splitting of storage commands

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions, for performing a method, which when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:

• execute, by a first node, a command from a client device to modify client data stored in a first storage device associated with the first node;
• transmit a replica of the command from the first node to a second node to cause the second node to execute the replica upon replicated client data stored in a second storage device associated with the second node;
• retry transmission of the replica by the first node according to a retry delay interval based upon detecting a failure by the second node to execute the replica;
• and
• notify, by the first node, the client device that the command is being retried based upon a determination that the failure by the second node to execute the replica corresponds to a short term failure and a number of retrials of the command by the first node before the command is successfully executed by the first node upon the first storage device.

A computing device comprising:

• a memory comprising machine executable code for performing a method;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the processor to:
• execute, by a first node, a command from a client device to modify client data stored in a first storage device associated with the first node;
• transmit a replica of the command from the first node to a second node to cause the second node to execute the replica upon replicated client data stored in a second storage device associated with the second node at;
• retry transmission of the replica by the first node according to a retry delay interval based upon detecting a failure by the second node to execute the replica;
• and
• notify, by the first node, the client device that the command is being retried based upon a determination that the failure by the second node to execute the replica corresponds to a short term failure and a number of retrials of the command by the first node before the command is successfully executed by the first node upon the first storage device.
