Abstract
A method includes accessing, in response to initiating an operation targeting data, auxiliary mapping data to determine whether the auxiliary mapping data includes an indication of a key associated with a node of a hierarchical data structure that is associated with the data. In response to the auxiliary mapping data including the indication of the key, the data is accessed from a memory using a node identification associated with the key. In response to the auxiliary mapping data not including the indication of the key, the data is accessed from the memory using a search operation.
