1. A method, comprising: (6) (4)

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.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein: (0) (1)

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the calculating the version identifier comprises: (0) (1)

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the provider comprises: (0) (1)

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (2)

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (2)

7. The method of claim 1, wherein: (0) (1)

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: (5) (4)

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;

sending the request to the identified one of the plurality of nodes.

9. The computer-readable media of claim 8, wherein: (0) (1)

10. The computer-readable media of claim 8, wherein the calculating the version identifier comprises: (0) (3)

11. The computer-readable media of claim 8, wherein the identifying the provider comprises: (0) (3)

12. The computer-readable media of claim 8, further comprising: (0) (3)

13. The computer-readable media of claim 8, further comprising: (0) (1)

14. A system, comprising: (6) (2)

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.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein: (0) (1)

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the load balancer configurable to calculating the version identifier comprises: (0) (2)

17. The system of claim 14, wherein the load balancer configurable to calculating the provider comprises: (0) (2)

18. The system of claim 14, wherein the load balancer is further configurable to: (0) (2)

19. The system of claim 14, wherein the load balancer is further configurable to: (0) (2)

20. The system of claim 14, wherein: (0) (2)
