Abstract
An apparatus in an illustrative embodiment comprises at least one processing device configured to maintain a cyclic array of storage object queues each associated with one of a set of two or more different time intervals. The at least one processing device is also configured to identify a storage object having an associated expiration time and to select, for the identified storage object, one of the storage object queues in the cyclic array based at least in part on its associated expiration time. The at least one processing device is further configured to insert the identified storage object into the selected storage object queue, and to process, in response to a designated timer trigger event corresponding to expiration of a given one of the time intervals, storage objects in a given one of the storage object queues in the cyclic array associated with the given time interval.
