Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for implementing indices in a dispersed storage network (dsNet) are provided. The method receives a key-value pair to be stored in a dsNet. The method routes the key and the value within a data source containing a SourceName repository and a data buffer. The key is routed to the SourceName repository and the value is routed to the data buffer. The data source is erasure encoded into a set of data slices having a slice name and a slice buffer. The method stores the set of data slices within the dsNet. The method generates a namespace index with an index entry for the key-value pair. The index entry represents the key-value pair as a SourceName and a data source indicator with the SourceName and the data source indicator being associated with the set of data slices.
