Abstract
An object management system (OMS) receives a plurality of objects to be stored. The OMS identifies a subset of objects associated with a same time period and a same namespace from the plurality of objects and generates a batch object comprising the subset of objects. The OMS issues a write request to store the batch object in an object storage system (OSS) and stores, for each object in the subset of objects, a data structure comprising an identifier of the batch object and a position of the object within the batch object. Upon receiving a read request for an object, the OMS determines, based on the data structure, whether the object is stored in the OSS and issues a read request to the OSS based on the identifier of the batch object and the position of the object within the batch, if the objects is stored in the OSS.
