TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates generally to the field of data storage and, more particularly, to utilizing a distributed data store in connection with testing a service of a data center.

BACKGROUND

Today, data centers provide customers various services such as data storage services. Customers expect their data to be secure and available at all times, however, occasionally, errors or fault conditions associated with the data center service can cause problems in that regard.

Hence, operators of data centers are continually testing those services, either existing services or services that are yet to be implemented. Such testing can be used to identify the cause of a fault condition that was previously witnessed in connection with an existing service or identify potential fault conditions in connection with services that are being developed by the data center operator. Unfortunately, existing techniques or systems for testing data center services have significant drawbacks. Accordingly, improvement in this area would be a welcome advance.
