Systems and methods are disclosed for making space available in a local storage of a data intake and query system. A cache manager of the data intake and query system may determine an amount of storage space of a local data store that is available for use to perform a query. The cache manager may then use one or more eviction policies associated with content stored at the local data store to purge content items to evict from the local storage. The system may then retrieve content for performing the query from a remote storage and store the retrieved content at the local storage.

Methods and systems for a networked storage system are provided. One method includes transmitting, by a first node, an invalidation request to a second node to invalidate an entry of a storage location cache of the second node, the entry indicating a storage location to write data in response to a write request received by the first node; updating, by the first node, a memory structure at the first node for sending a heartbeat message to disable use of the storage location cache by the second node; and responding, by the first node, to the write request, after a response to disable the use of the storage location cache is received from the second node or a certain duration, T1, has elapsed since the heartbeat message was sent to the second node and no response was received from the second node.

A method for efficient reads by reconstruction may determining an expected read latency for reading data from a primary read location of a plurality of storage devices, determining an expected reconstruction latency for reconstructing the data using reconstruction data, wherein portions of the reconstruction data are stored at a plurality of alternative read locations of the plurality of storage devices, reading the portions of the reconstruction data from the plurality of alternative read locations of the plurality of storage devices, and reconstructing the data stored at the primary read location using the reconstruction data, wherein the expected reconstruction latency is lower than the expected read latency.

A semiconductor storage device includes a first memory area configured in a volatile semiconductor memory, second and third memory areas configured in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory, and a controller which executes following processing. The controller executes a first processing for storing a plurality of data by the first unit in the first memory area, a second processing for storing data outputted from the first memory area by a first management unit in the second memory area, and a third processing for storing data outputted from the first memory area by a second management unit in the third memory area.

Various embodiments described herein provide for a memory sub-system read operation or a memory sub-system write operation that can be requested by a host system and involves performing a multi-level (e.g., two-level) pointer dereferencing internally within the memory sub-system. Such embodiments can at least reduce the number of read operations that a host system sends to a memory sub-system to perform a multi-level dereferencing operation.

A first set of physical units of a storage device of a storage system is selected for performance of low latency access operations, wherein other access operations are performed by remaining physical units of the storage device. A determination as to whether a triggering event has occurred that causes a selection of a new set of physical units of the storage device for the performance of low latency access operations is made. A second set of physical units of the storage device is selected for the performance of low latency access operations upon determining that the triggering event has occurred.

Methods and systems for a networked storage system are provided. One method includes: generating, by a first node, a dummy entry in a storage location cache of the first node, the dummy entry associated with a read request received by the first node for data stored using a logical object owned by a second node; receiving, by the first node, an invalidation request to invalidate any storage location entry associated with the data, the invalidation request sent in response to the second node receiving a write request to modify the data; invalidating, by the first node, the dummy entry; receiving, by the first node, a response to the read request from the second node with the requested data; and replacing, by the first node, the dummy entry with a storage location entry and invalidating the storage location entry based on the invalidated dummy entry.

A method for managing a host memory buffer, a memory storage apparatus, and a memory control circuit unit are provided. The method includes: detecting whether a system abnormality occurs; copying a first command and first data corresponding to the first command stored in a data buffer of a host system to the memory storage apparatus in response to determining that the system abnormality occurs; executing an initial operation after copying the first command and the first data, wherein the initial operation initializes a part of a hardware circuit in the memory storage apparatus and does not initialize another part of the hardware circuit in the memory storage apparatus; and re-executing the first command stored in the memory storage apparatus after initializing the part of the hardware circuit.
