Abstract
Object data, such as a key-value pair, are stored in a disk drive in conjunction with metadata associated with the object data. A key-value pair and metadata associated therewith are written in different locations in the disk drive, but as part of a single sequential write operation, such as when contents of a key-value buffer containing one or more key-value pairs are flushed to the disk drive. The key-value pair may be written during a first phase of the sequential write operation and the metadata may be written during a second phase of the sequential write operation that does not immediately precede or follow the first phase.
