Abstract
A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module receiving a request to retrieve a portion of a data object that is stored in a distributed storage network (DSN). The method continues with the DS processing module retrieving data storage mapping information and accessing indexing information, where the indexing information identifies a categorization of the data object into a plurality of categorical data portions. The method continues with the DS processing module identifying a specific categorical data portion of the plurality of categorical data portions and equating the specific categorical data portion to specific storage information of the data storage mapping information to identify at least one data segment of data segments of at least one storage region of storage regions. The method continues with the DS processing module retrieving the at least one data segment from the DSN in accordance with the specific storage information.
