Abstract
According to an example method, a read request associated with a second data object is received, where the second data object is identifiable by a second object identifier. A second segment index number is determined that would identify a location of the second data object is absent from a metadata index. In response to determining that the second segment index number is absent from the metadata index, an incrementally lower index is selected in the metadata index, where the incrementally lower index is a first segment index number that identifies a location of the first data object. The second data object is retrieved using the first segment index number and a first offset corresponding to the first segment index number.
