Claim 7:
8. A storage node comprising:
one or more processing resources; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processing resource, having stored therein instructions, which when executed by the one or more processing resources cause the one or more processing resources to:
manage storage objects and continuously track changes of the storage objects in a distributed object storage database that includes one or more chapter databases with each chapter database holding names within a contiguous range of a namespace and with the distributed object storage database supporting a primary lookup index and a secondary lookup index that includes pending work items for one or more peer buckets in order to locate a record;
generate a chapter database header for each chapter database to provide a summary of pending work items to be performed; and
update the chapter database header when work items are updated for the chapter database to allow an operating system (OS) of the storage node to continually maintain collective tracking of an overall replication state.
