Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module determining to remove data object index entries from a data object level index node, identifying data object index entries to extract, and creating a temporary sibling data object level index node to include the identified data object index entries. The method continues with the DS processing module initiating updating of an hierarchical ordered index structure by identifying an address for storing the temporary sibling data object level index node, setting up linking the temporary sibling data object level index node to a next level node and to an adjacent data object level index node, and determining whether a change has occurred. When the change has not occurred, the method continues with the DS processing module removing the data object index entries from the data object level index node and commencing the updating of the hierarchical ordered index structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for execution by a processing module of a computer of a multiple computer dispersed storage network (MCDSN) that stores a plurality of data objects, the method comprises: determining to remove data object index entries from a data object level index node, wherein a plurality of data object index entries is associated with the plurality of data objects, wherein the plurality of data object index entries is organized into a hierarchical ordered index…
