Abstract
Data records of a data set can be stored in multiple main part fragments, each of which includes a subset of the set of data records. A relative age can be assigned to each main part fragment, and a fragment-specific index segment can be created for a newest of the main part fragments. The fragment-specific index segment can provide a lookup ability for logical identifiers of data records in just the newest of the main part fragments. A multi-fragment index segment can span two or more older main fragments. The multi-fragment index segment can provide a lookup ability for logical identifiers of data records in the two or more older main part fragments.
