Abstract
A method, computer program product and system are provided. The method, computer program product and system execute a process for storing an object in an object container that is stored in a persistency of a disk storage. The object container has size criteria whereby objects meeting the size criteria of the object container can be assigned to the object container. The object container can facilitate storing multiple objects to optimize disk storage usage by facilitating the assigning of multiple objects to the same disk storage page.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- determining a size of an object, the object having raw data that is operable upon by one or more physical operators;
- assigning, if the size of the object meets a size criteria of an object container, the object to the object container, the object container configured to store multiple objects each having at least one common attribute;
- and,
- storing the object container in a persistency of a disk storage.
A system comprising:
- a disk storage;
- a processor;
- and,
- a memory storing machine-readable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform one or more operations, the operations comprising:
- determining a size of an object, the object having raw data that is operable upon by one or more physical operators;
- assigning, if the size of the object meets a size criteria of an object container, the object to the object container, the object container configured to store multiple objects each having at least one common attribute;
- and,
- storing the object container in a persistency of the disk storage.
