Abstract
A method includes identifying, by a computing device of a dispersed storage network (DSN), a delegate device of a plurality of delegate devices of the DSN for processing a change to a node of a plurality of nodes of a hierarchical index structure. The method further includes sending, by the computing device, a change type specific request to the delegate device regarding the change to the node. The method further includes determining, by the delegate device, whether the delegate device is responsible for executing the change type specific request. When the delegate device is responsible for executing the change type specific request, the method further includes sending, by the delegate device, a response message to the computing device indicating that the delegate device is responsible for executing the change type specific request. The method further includes executing, by the delegate device, the change type specific request.
