Kingsoft has been granted a patent for a distributed table storage processing method. This method involves a master server generating a splitting log and serial number for a slice, coordinating with slave servers to acknowledge receipt, and performing storage splitting to create new slices based on received acknowledgments.

The patent US12001450B2 outlines a distributed table storage processing method designed for both master and slave servers involved in managing data slices. The method begins with the master server generating a splitting log and a corresponding serial number upon receiving a splitting instruction for a slice that needs to be divided. This log and serial number are then sent to each slave server, which must acknowledge receipt by sending back a confirmation message. Once a sufficient number of acknowledgments are received, the master server performs the splitting operation to create multiple new slices. The process also includes a mechanism for writing data, where a data log is generated and similarly acknowledged by the slave servers before the actual data is stored.

Additionally, the patent describes a system that includes a control device to monitor data amounts and determine when a slice should be split. The master server is responsible for generating logs and instructions, while the slave servers execute the storage operations based on these logs. The system ensures data integrity and synchronization through acknowledgment messages and inquiry instructions, allowing the master server to confirm that the splitting and data storage processes have been successfully completed. This structured approach enhances the efficiency and reliability of distributed data management in storage systems.
