US Patent 10373247 Lifecycle transitions in log-coordinated data stores

Based at least in part on an optimization goal determined for a storage group comprising a plurality of data stores for which writes requests are coordinated by a log-based transaction manager, one or more lifecycle transitions are identified for data objects stored in a first data store. In accordance with a first lifecycle transition, a data object is to be transferred from the first data store to a second data store based at least in part on a duration for which the data object has been resident at the first data store. A transition agent is assigned by a configuration manager to implement the first lifecycle transition.
