Abstract
A storage system is described. The storage system includes an object store having a plurality of objects to implement a quota policy or a part of a relational database. The plurality of objects include a first plurality of immutable objects, a second plurality of immutable objects and a head object. The first plurality of immutable objects contain information kept within the database. The second plurality of immutable objects contain a hierarchy of pages for accessing the first plurality of immutable objects. The plurality of objects also include a mutable object that contains a mapping table that maps identifiers of the pages to identifiers of objects of the second plurality of immutable objects. The information is one of: quota policy information; information within a table of a relational database; a stripe of a thin provisioned file.
