Abstract
A method for storing data in a storage system, includes opportunistically compressing a plurality of objects of a first size during a write operation, storing the compressed objects of the first size if they compress acceptably, and storing other objects of a second size uncompressed. It further includes determining during a read operation whether an object of the second size is stored as a part of a compressed object; if the object of the second size is not stored as a part of a compressed object of the first size, then reading the object of the second size from storage; if the object of the second size is stored as a part of the compressed object of the second size, then: reading the compressed object of the first size from storage; uncompressing the compressed object of the first size; and extracting the object of the second size.
