US Patent 10318346 Prioritized scheduling of data store access requests

Data stores may implement prioritized scheduling of data store access requests. When new access requests are received, the new access requests may be scheduled for prioritized execution on processing resources. Access requests that are currently being executed with prioritized execution may be reprioritized to make additional capacity for prioritized execution of the new access requests. Prioritized execution may be automatically enabled or disabled for a data store based on monitoring of performance metrics for executing access requests.
