Fast object listing in geographically distributed data storage environment

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

• receiving a request for an object list;
• and
• in response to the request for the object list, generating the object list, the generating comprising,
• accessing a listing table to obtain a listing table entry that references an object to be potentially added to the object list;
• evaluating the listing table entry, and
• for a normal listing table entry that references the object, adding object information corresponding to the object to the object list, and
• for a quasi-listing table entry that references the object, accessing an object table to determine whether an object table entry corresponding to the quasi-listing table entry exists, and, in response to determining that the object table entry exists, adding the object information corresponding to the object to the object list.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• receiving a request for an object result dataset;
• and
• in response to the request for the object result dataset, generating the object result dataset, the generating comprising,
• accessing a listing data structure to obtain a listing data structure entry that references an object,
• evaluating the listing data structure entry according to a type of the listing data structure entry, and
• for a normal-type listing data structure entry that references the object, adding object information corresponding to the object to the object result dataset, and
• for a quasi-type listing data structure entry that references the object, accessing an object data structure to determine whether an object data structure entry corresponding to the quasi-type listing data structure entry exists, and, in response to determining that the object data structure entry exists, adding the object information corresponding to the object to the object result dataset.
