System and method for a distributed key-value store

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

• deploying a container instance providing a compute resource to access metadata indicating a storage location of an object in a distributed storage platform;
• deploying a virtual node implementing a key-value range of a key-value store, wherein the virtual node stores the metadata, wherein the container instance includes the virtual node;
• receiving a request to read the object, wherein the request includes the key-value range;
• accessing, from the virtual node, the metadata using the container instance;
• and
• providing, to an object controller, the metadata comprising the key-value range, wherein the object controller accesses, via a controller virtual machine (CVM) of a CVM cluster, the object in the storage location according to the metadata, wherein each CVM of the CVM cluster runs a subset of distributed operating system for accessing data in the distributed storage platform and has the key-value range.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• deploying, by the processor a container instance providing a compute resource to access metadata indicating a storage location of an object in a distributed storage platform;
• deploying, by the processor, a virtual node implementing a key-value range of a key-value store, wherein the virtual node stores the metadata, wherein the container instance includes the virtual node;
• receiving, by the processor, a request to read the object, wherein the request includes the key-value range;
• accessing, by the processor and from the virtual node, the metadata using the container instance;
• and
• providing, to an object controller, the metadata comprising the key-value range, wherein the object controller accesses, via a controller virtual machine (CVM) of a CVM cluster, the object in the storage location according to the metadata, wherein each CVM of the CVM cluster runs a subset of distributed operating system for accessing data in the distributed storage platform and has the key-value range.
