Object search with pagination and non-duplicates support

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for querying for members in multiple groups. A list of unique members in the multiple groups may be received in response to the query. An example methodology implementing the techniques may include generating a group contexts dictionary and a job stack. The group contexts dictionary may include group context objects, each group context object associated with a group within a domain. The job stack may include one or more group context hashset keys, wherein a group context hashset key identifies a group context object. The method may include retrieving one or more group context hashset keys from the job stack and, for each retrieved group context hashset key, traversing a group associated with a group context object identified by a group context hashset key to determine membership information of the group, and generating a list of unique members by removing duplicate entries in the membership information.
