Tenant-level sharding of disks with tenant-specific storage modules to enable policies per tenant in a distributed storage system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request for data storage for a tenant;
selecting a partition of a disk to be dedicated to the tenant based, at least in part, on one or more policies including a distribution requirement and a replication requirement for data of the tenant, the replication requirement being a number of replicas desired for at least a portion of the data, and the distribution requirement being how far apart or how close together the replicas can be stored relative to each other;
and allocating the partition for the data of the tenant.

Abstract
Embodiments include receiving an indication of a data storage module to be associated with a tenant of a distributed storage system, allocating a partition of a disk for data of the tenant, creating a first association between the data storage module and the disk partition, creating a second association between the data storage module and the tenant, and creating rules for the data storage module based on one or more policies configured for the tenant. Embodiments further include receiving an indication of a type of subscription model selected for the tenant, and selecting the disk partition to be allocated based, at least in part, on the subscription model selected for the tenant. More specific embodiments include generating a storage map indicating the first association between the data storage module and the disk partition and indicating the second association between the data storage module and the tenant.
