Abstract

A key-value pair comprising a key and a value associated with the key is stored in a current segment of a data container. The key comprises a segment identifier identifying the current segment. The data container comprises a plurality of segments residing on a non-volatile memory device. Responsive to determining that a size of the current segment exceeds a threshold, a new segment is added to the container. The plurality of key-value pairs having respective current segment identifiers referencing one or more least recently created segments of the data container is deleted.
