Abstract
The disclosure herein describes providing and accessing data on an object storage platform using a log-structured merge (LSM) tree file system. The LSM tree file system on the object storage platform includes sorted data tables, each sorted data table including a payload portion and an index portion. Data is written to the LSM tree file system in at least one new sorted data table. Data is ready by identifying a data location of the data based on index portions of the sorted data tables and reading the data from a sorted data table associated with the identified data location. The use of the LSM tree file system on the object storage platform provides an efficient means for interacting with the data stored thereon.
