Providing custom read consistency of a data object in a distributed storage system

A system for versioning data in an unstructured data store, the system comprising:

• at least one computing device comprising having a hardware processor and a memory, the memory having computer executable instructions embedded therein, the computer executable instructions executable by the hardware processor to cause the computing device to:
• generate a first record in the unstructured data store based on a version of a second record in the unstructured data store;
• initialize a parent version identifier of the first record based on the version of the second record;
• compare the parent version identifier of the first record to a version identifier of the second record;
• and
• determine whether the first record is consistent based on the comparison.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• generating a first record in the unstructured data store based on a version of a second record in the unstructured data store;
• initializing a parent version identifier of the first record based on the version of the second record;
• comparing the parent version identifier of the first record to a version identifier of the second record;
• and
• determining whether the first record is consistent based on the comparison.
