Object data updating method and apparatus in an object storage system

An object data updating apparatus in an object storage system, the object storage system storing multiple object data, and each piece of the object data comprising metadata and actual data stored in slices;

• the apparatus comprising:
• a receiving module configured to receive an object data updating request of a user, the object data updating request comprising a type of the updating request and identity information of the object data to be updated, the type of the updating request comprising an operation to be performed on the object data, and the metadata comprising information related to the slices of the actual data,
• wherein the object data updating request comprises user identity information,
• wherein the receiving module further comprises a privilege determining unit configured to determine operation privilege of the user based on the user identity information;
• a first obtaining module configured to obtain the metadata of the object data to be updated based on the identity information of the object data to be updated;
• a first execution module configured to execute the operation on the metadata of the object data to be updated based on the type of the updating request before executing the operation on the actual data of the object data, wherein the first execution module is further configured to:
• obtain the metadata of the object data to be updated based on the predefined operation privilege of the user determined by the privilege determining unit;
• a second obtaining module configured to obtain the actual data of the object data to be updated based on the identity information of the object data to be updated;
• and
• a second execution module configured to execute the operation on the actual data of the object data to be updated based on the type of the updating request, wherein the second execution module is further configured to:
• obtain the actual data of the object data to be updated based on the predefined operation privilege of the user determined by the privilege determining unit.

A non-transitory computer storage medium storing a computer program, which when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform an object data updating method in an object storage system, the object storage system storing multiple object data, and each piece of the object data comprising metadata and actual data stored in slices;

• the method comprising:
• receiving an object data updating request of a user, the object data updating request comprising a type of the updating request and identity information of the object data to be updated, the type of the updating request comprising an operation to be performed on the object data, and the metadata comprising information related to the slices of the actual data,
• wherein the object data updating request comprises user identity information,
• wherein the receiving an object data updating request of a user comprises:
• determining operation privilege of the user based on the user identity information;
• obtaining the metadata of the object data to be updated based on the identity information of the object data to be updated,
• wherein the obtaining the metadata of the object data to be updated based on the identity information of the object data to be updated comprises:
• obtaining the metadata of the object data to be updated based on the predefined operation privilege of the user;
• executing the operation on the metadata of the object data to be updated based on the type of the updating request before executing the operation on the actual data of the object data;
• obtaining the actual data of the object data to be updated based on the identity information of the object data to be updated,
• wherein the obtaining the actual data of the object data to be updated based on the identity information of the object data to be updated comprises:
• obtaining the actual data of the object data to be updated based on the predefined operation privilege of the user;
• and
• executing the operation on the actual data of the object data to be updated based on the type of the updating request.
