Abstract

A method for managing object evolution in a distributed object store (DOS) involving requesting an update of an object, wherein the object includes an active globally unique identifier (AGUID) object and at least one version globally unique identifier (VGUID) object, wherein the at least one VGUID object includes a first generation number and a first serializer name, locating a first serializer using the first serializer name, wherein the first serializer is associated with the first generation number, obtaining an order of the update using the first serializer, and creating a new VGUID object, wherein the new VGUID object includes a new version number, the first generation number, and the first serializer name.
