Original Abstract Submitted

a method comprises receiving, at a host, a request to set new service configuration information for a target service in a distributed computing environment; retrieving a current revision identifier of a current revision of service configuration information for the target service from a revision index key in a local replica of a configuration store, the revision index key storing one or more key-value pairs, a key in a specific key-value pair identifying the target service; assigning a new revision identifier based on the current revision identifier; writing the new service configuration information into a new revision of the service configuration information in the local replica; updating the revision index key in an atomic compare-and-swap operation, the compare comprising verifying that the current revision identifier in the revision index key has remained the same since the retrieving, the swap comprising updating the specific key-value pair with the new revision identifier.
