Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for implementing indexes in a dispersed storage network (dsNet) are provided. The method receives a key-value list request including a start key. In response to the key-value list request, a set of key-value list requests are transmitted to a plurality of data source units within a dispersed storage network (dsNet). The method identifies a set of keys returned from the plurality of data source units and identifies a subset of keys from the set of keys returned. The subset of keys including a union of the set of keys. The key-value pairs associated with the subset of keys are restored. The method generates a key-value list response to the key-value list request. The key-value list response includes the restored key-value pairs associated with the subset of keys.
