Abstract
A data storage system implements techniques for efficient retrieval of data stored thereon, using time of upload or another monotonically increasing variable as a key or identifier for the data to be stored and/or retrieved. Data is sorted according to, e.g., upload time, and the data is addressed with respect to time of upload and byte offset within the archive.
