Embedded object data storage determined by object size information

A system, comprising:

• a data storage system configured to:
• store object-related information in an object table and in chunks,
• classify objects represented in the object table as embedded objects, normal objects or inflated objects via evaluations of size information of the objects, resulting in classified objects, in which corresponding object data size information for a classified object of the classified objects is based on object metadata size information of the classified object and object data size information of the classified object, wherein
• a first evaluation of the evaluations corresponds to a total object data size comprising the object data size information and the object metadata size information, and
• a second evaluation of the evaluations corresponds to the object metadata size information, and
• in response to the classified object being classified as an embedded object as a result of the first evaluation, to store embedded object metadata of the embedded object and embedded object data of the embedded object in the object table;
• or
• in response to the classified object being classified as a normal object as a result of the second evaluation, to store normal object data of the normal object in a chunk, store a pointer to the chunk in the object table, and store at least some normal object metadata of the normal object in the object table in association with the pointer;
• or
• in response to the classified object being classified as an inflated object as a result of the second evaluation, to store inflated object data of the inflated object in a chunk, store a pointer to the chunk in the object table, and store at least some inflated object metadata of the inflated object in the chunk.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• obtaining an object for storage in a data storage system comprising data storage chunks, the data storage system comprising an object data structure comprising references to the data storage chunks;
• and
• evaluating object size information for the object, the object size information comprising object metadata size information of the object and object data size information of the object, for use in storing the object based on the evaluating, the evaluating and storing comprising:
• in response to the evaluating the object size information being determined to indicate a total object size below a first threshold value, storing object metadata of the object and object data of the object in the object data structure,
• in response to the evaluating the object size information being determined to indicate a total object size above the first threshold value, and the object metadata size information being determined to indicate that object metadata size is below a second threshold value, storing the object data of the object in a first chunk, storing a reference to the first chunk in the object data structure, and storing at least some of the object metadata of the object in the object data structure in association with the reference;
• or
• in response to the evaluating the object size information being determined to indicate a total object size above the first threshold value, and the object metadata size information being determined to indicate that object metadata size is above the second threshold value, storing the object data of the object in a second chunk, storing a reference to the second chunk in the object data structure, and storing at least some of the object metadata of the object in the second chunk.
