Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for managing mapping information for objects maintained in a distributed storage system are provided. The distributed storage system can include a keymap subsystem that manages the mapping information according to object keys. Requests for specific object mapping information are directed to specific keymap coordinators within the keymap subsystem based on a consistency based hashing schema. The hashing schema is updated and distributed to other components within the distributed storage system based on a defined distribution model.
