3 Independent Claims

1. A method, comprising: obtaining a request identifier for a request received by the storage system through a network; calculating a version identifier for provider selection, based on a first hash executed on the request identifier; determining a provider for the request, based on the request identifier and the version identifier, the determining comprises selecting a second hash function in accordance with the version identifier; and sending the request to one of a plurality of nodes of the storage system as the determined provider.
8. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising: generating a request identifier for a request received by a storage system through a network; calculating a version identifier for provider selection, based on a first hash executed on the request identifier; determining a provider for the request, based on the request identifier and the version identifier, the determining comprises selecting a second hash function in accordance with the version identifier; and sending the request to the identified one of the plurality of nodes.
14. A system, comprising: a plurality of nodes; and a load balancer, configurable to: receive a request through a network; obtain a request identifier; calculate a version identifier for provider selection, based on a first hash executed on the request identifier; determine one of the plurality of nodes to be a provider for the request, based on the request identifier and the version identifier, the determining comprises selecting a second hash function in accordance with the version identifier; and send the request to the one of the plurality of nodes.
