Abstract:
A method includes determining, by a first client and a second client module, that a first data object and a second data objects are related. The method further includes dispersed storage error encoding the first data object to produce a first plurality of sets of encoded data slices and the second data object to produce a second plurality of sets of encoded data slices. The method further includes sending, by the first client module, first requests regarding the first plurality of sets of encoded data slices to a set of storage units. The method further includes sending, by the second client module, second requests regarding the second plurality of sets of encoded data slices to the set of storage units. The method further includes processing, by a binding module, remaining phases of the first and second write requests as a single write operation for the first and second data objects.
