Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods and computer storage media for facilitating the structured storage of binary large objects (Blobs) to be accessed by an application program being executed by a computing device. Generally, the structured storage of Blobs includes a primary structured storage index for indexing Blobs, a secondary hash index that is integrated into the structured storage system, a Blob log stream, and a Blob data stream for storing blocks that include the Blob data. In an embodiment, a block is created and written to a Blob store along with a block list. The block list facilitates the locating of one or more blocks that store the Blob data. In this embodiment, a primary structured storage index and a secondary hash index are updated to facilitate efficient access of the Blob in a structured storage system.
