Methods, systems, and media for providing distributed database access during a network split

A system for providing access to information stored in a replicated distributed database, the system comprising:

• at least one hardware processor that is collectively programmed to:
• receive, at a first node of N nodes, a first request to perform a first write operation to an object in the database, wherein N is an odd integer number greater than one;
• determine that a second node of the N nodes stores a master shard that includes the object;
• determine that the second node is included in a subset of the N nodes;
• determine that the subset includes at least (N+1)/2 nodes;
• and
• in response to determining that the subset includes at least (N+1)/2 nodes, cause the first request to perform the first write operation to be routed to the second node.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for providing access to information stored in a replicated distributed database, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a first node of N nodes, a first request to perform a first write operation to an object in the database, wherein N is an odd integer number greater than one;
• determining that a second node of the N nodes stores a master shard that includes the object;
• determining that the second node is included in a subset of the N nodes;
• determining that the subset includes at least (N+1)/2 nodes;
• and
• in response to determining that the subset includes at least (N+1)/2 nodes, causing the first request to perform the first write operation to be routed to the second node.
