    Abstract: A distributed storage system may store data object instances in persistent storage and may cache keymap information for those data object instances. The system may cache a latest symbolic key entry for some user keys of the data object instances. When a request is made for the latest version of stored data object instances having a specified user key, the latest version may be determined dependent on whether a latest symbolic key entry exists for the specified user key, and keymap information for the latest version may be returned. When storing keymap information, a flag may be set to indicate that a corresponding latest symbolic key entry should be updated. The system may delete a latest symbolic key entry for a particular user key from the cache in response to determining that no other requests involving the keymap information for data object instances having the particular user key are pending.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing object versioning in a storage system may support the logical deletion of stored objects through the use of delete marker objects. In response to a delete operation specifying a key, but not a version identifier, the storage system may create a delete marker object that is stored as the latest object version of the key. In response to performing a subsequent mutating operation, or at pre-determined time intervals, the storage system may perform a local and/or a global analysis of the delete marker objects stored in the system (and/or metadata associated with those delete marker objects) to determine whether any of them are no longer needed to ensure correct operation of the system. The analysis may apply one or more reap conditions to delete marker objects and/or metadata to identify extraneous delete marker objects, removing those that meet one or more reap conditions from storage.
