DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REPLICATED STORAGE OF STRUCTURED DATA RECORDS

A distributed system and method for replicated storage of structure data records. According to one embodiment, a system may include storage hosts each configured to store and retrieve structured data records, and a data store manager configured to receive a request from a client to store a structured data record within a table. In response to receiving the request, the data store manager may be further configured to map the structured data record to a block according to a partition key value of the structured data record and an identifier of the table and to map the block to a subset comprising at least two of the plurality of storage hosts. Upon successfully storing the structured data record to the block within at least two storage hosts within the subset, the data store manager may be further configured to return to the client an indication that said request is complete.
