Abstract
Instead of using trees to group key values (KV) based on KV information, use host provided information for grouping KVs. In the cases where the host provides KV information, the host determines how to group the information. The controller will then use the KV information to store the KV information in a group. The KVs can be sorted in the group by either size, length, type, etc. of the KV received from the host. Independent backend logic, such as data routing management, parity management, block management, and proactive data retrieval, is used to group KV information. Grouping the KV information using the independent backend logic will make garbage collection (GC) less difficult and increase retrieval performance due to the grouping of the KVs.
