Techniques are disclosed for managing metadata of a distributed database system in a hybrid manner. A computer system may receive, from a computing device, a request to access a set of data stored in nodes of a distributed storage system that is a caching layer of the system. The system retrieves metadata for a set of data specified in the request, including accessing a reversemap storing a reverse-ordered copy of original metadata stored in a metadata store of the system, where the reversemap is stored on durable storage of the system. Based on retrieving the metadata from the reversemap, the system accesses nodes of the distributed storage system, where the reversemap specifies the nodes of the distributed storage system that store the set of data. The system transmits, to the computing device, information indicating a result of accessing data stored in nodes of the distributed storage system.
