Claim Text:
1. A method for optimization of a transformed logical data object including a plurality of storage sections storing transformed data, said method comprising: receiving, by a processor, a request to store first data in the transformed logical data object; searching the plurality of storage sections to identify a storage section comprising a mixture of outdated transformed data and live transformed data, and including greater than a predetermined percentage of the outdated transformed data, wherein the outdated transformed data includes a first timestamp prior to a predefined time and the live transformed data includes a second timestamp subsequent to the predefined time; de-transforming all of the outdated transformed data and all of the live transformed data in the identified storage section to generate second data comprising both live data and outdated data; identifying the live data and the outdated data in the second data; extracting the live data from the second data; deleting the outdated data in the identified storage section; releasing the storage section subsequent to extracting the live data and deleting the outdated data, wherein physical space corresponding to the identified storage section is available for re-allocation to a new storage section subsequent to releasing the identified storage section; re-transforming the live data; and storing the re-transformed live data in the new storage section, wherein the re-transformed live data keeps the second timestamp subsequent to re-transformation and storage of the re-transformed live data.
