Optimizing spool and memory space management

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• allocating a plurality of spools having spool regions in first memory;
• communicating first spool insertions, comprising data, optimized towards a first spool insertion size, into the plurality of spools;
• communicating the first spool insertions from the plurality of spools to a plurality of storage devices to write the data of the first spool insertions into a first partition of second memory of the plurality of storage devices;
• communicating second spool insertions, comprising metadata, optimized towards a second spool insertion size, into the plurality of spools;
• and
• communicating the second spool insertions from the plurality of spools to the plurality of storage devices to write the metadata of the second spool insertions into a second partition of the second memory of the plurality of storage devices.

A storage system, comprising:

• a first memory;
• a second memory, in a plurality of storage devices;
• a processing device to:
• perform dynamic allocation of portions of the second memory as a first partition of the second memory having larger allocation units, for data, and a second partition of the second memory, having smaller allocation units, for metadata;
• allocate a plurality of spools having spool regions in the first memory;
• communicate first spool insertions, comprising data, optimized towards a first spool insertion size, into the plurality of spools and from the plurality of spools to the plurality of storage devices to write into the first partition of the second memory;
• and
• communicate second spool insertions, comprising metadata, optimized towards a second spool insertion size, into the plurality of spools and from the plurality of spools to the plurality of storage devices to write into the second partition of the second memory.
