Abstract
A data storage system includes storage and a global enumerator. The storage stores data chunks, object level metadata associated with portions of the data chunks, and chunk level metadata associated with respective data chunks. The global enumerator obtains an update request including a metadata characteristic and update data; in response to obtaining the update request: matches the metadata characteristic to at least one selected from a group consisting of a portion of the object level metadata and a portion of the chunk level metadata to identify an implicated metadata portion; and modifies, based on the update data, the implicated metadata portion.
