Removable media based object store

A data management system that is configured to implement an object store using removable storage media, the data management system comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media;
• a processing system operatively coupled with the one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media that, when read and executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to perform the steps of:
• receiving a request to retrieve first data;
• determining a first data object in which at least a portion of the first data is stored;
• determining a removable storage medium on which the first data object is stored, the removable storage medium including a value store partition into which one or more data objects including at least the first data object are stored and a key store partition into which one or more keys identifying the one or more data objects are stored;
• retrieving the first data object from the value store partition;
• and
• retrieving the at least a portion of the first data from the first data object.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon to implement an object store using removable storage media, the program instructions, when read and executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to perform the steps of:

• receiving a request to retrieve first data;
• determining a first data object in which at least a portion of the first data is stored;
• determining a removable storage medium on which the first data object is stored, the removable storage medium including a value store partition into which one or more data objects including at least the first data object are stored and a key store partition into which one or more keys identifying the one or more data objects are stored;
• retrieving the first data object from the value store partition;
• and
• retrieving the at least a portion of the first data from the first data object.
