Abstract: Partition management for a scalable, structured storage system is provided. The storage system provides storage represented by one or more tables, each of which includes rows that represent data entities. A table is partitioned into a number of partitions, each partition including a contiguous range of rows. The partitions are served by table servers and managed by a table master. Load distribution information for the table servers and partitions is tracked, and the table master determines to split and/or merge partitions based on the load distribution information.

Abstract: Cloud computing platforms having computer-readable media that perform methods for facilitating communications with storage. A request having a first-interface format to access storage is intercepted. The first interface format of the request supports access to a virtual hard drive (VHD). The request is translated to a blob request having a blob interface format. The blob interface format of the blob request supports access to a plurality of blobs of data in a blob store. The blob request is communicated to a blob interface such that the blob request is executed in managing the plurality of blobs.

Abstract: Atomic multiple modifications of streams is provided. Streams are selected for the application of an atomic multiple modification. A lock is acquired on the meta-data associated with the streams. Each stream is de-coupled from its name. Multiple modifications are applied to the selected streams. After performing the modifications, names are coupled to the streams. The lock on the meta-data associated with each stream is released.
