System and method for locking distributed read / write using a network key value of a storage device

Abstract

To provide a method and a system for coordinating a lock request in an NKV store including a network key value (NKV) client and an NKV target.SOLUTION: A method of coordinating lock requests in an NKV store including one or more NKV clients and one or more NKV targets includes: receiving, by a first NKV client, a lock request from a client device over a communication interface to lock an object key stored in the NKV targets; determining one of the NKV targets corresponding to the lock request; transmitting the lock request to the one of the NKV targets over a storage interface; determining a priority of the lock request; and locking the lock request on the basis of the priority.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
