The key is inspected in accordance with the ordering scheme to determine based at least in part on the timestamp whether a criterion for performing an action on the associated version of the data object is satisfied. If the criterion is satisfied, a marker key is added to the plurality of keys, whereby the marker key precedes the inspected key according to the ordering scheme and indicates that the criterion is satisfied.
