Abstract

Embodiments are provided for organizing data elements in a log-structured storage system. A profile is created based on a population of data elements in cache memory related to a log structured storage system. A layout for storage of the data elements on persistent storage related to the log-structured storage system is determined, which includes identifying two or more related data elements based on the profile. A garbage collection process is performed on the persistent storage based on the determined layout, which includes placing the related data elements within substantially close proximity on the persistent storage.
