Claim 13:
14. The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein the leaf metadata page is a first leaf metadata page and the method further comprising:
determining that the first leaf metadata page is not in a cache thereby resulting in a cache miss; and
responsive to the cache miss, performing processing including:
reading a stored version of the first leaf metadata page from a persistent storage location;
determining a logical address range and a corresponding value range associated with the leaf metadata page, wherein the first metadata leaf page is used in connection with mapping each logical address of the logical address range to a corresponding storage location including content stored at said each logical address;
searching the metadata log for a set of metadata log entries which update the first metadata leaf page, wherein each metadata log entry of the set includes an associated value in the corresponding value range and each metadata log entry of the set includes a tuple of a first type indicating that said each metadata log entry denotes an update to a leaf metadata page;
generating a current version of the first metadata leaf page by applying metadata updates represented by the set of metadata log entries; and
storing the current version of the first metadata leaf page in the cache.
