Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for implementing space management for large objects stored in the computing system. According to some approaches, storage of large objects are managed by dynamically creating contiguous chunks of storage space of varying lengths. The length of each chunk may vary depending upon object size being stored, fragmentation of the storage space, available free space, and/or expected length of the object.
