Abstract

Distributed key/value stores are a basic building block for large-scale Internet services. Support for range queries introduces new challenges to load balancing since both the key and workload distribution can be non-uniform. We build on previous work based on the power of choice to present algorithms suitable for active and passive load balancing that adapt to both the key and workload distribution. The algorithms are evaluated in a simulated environment, focusing on the impact of load balancing on scalability under normal conditions and in an overloaded system.
