Abstract
A partition of a storage system is extended in a more effective manner, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency of the storage system. For instance, objects are divided into a first group of objects and a second group of objects, based upon which a first partition including the first group of objects and a second partition including the second group of objects are created. A partition index of the partition is obtained, wherein a group of nodes included in the partition index respectively represents metadata of the group of objects. A first partition index and a second partition index are respectively generated based on the partition index, wherein a first group of nodes included in the first partition index respectively represents metadata of the first group of objects, and a second group of nodes included in the second partition index respectively represents metadata of the first group of objects.
