Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for delete operations over a stateless protocol of one or more regions stored in a dispersed storage network. The operation comprises receiving a request to delete one or more data regions of a data object with a topology map from an authorized application. The existing data topology map corresponding to the object metadata is fetched from the data storage processing unit in the dispersed storage network. One or more data regions of the data object are deleted. The updated topology map is returned to the authorized application.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reorder transformation operations over a stateless protocol of one or more regions stored in a dispersed storage network. The operation comprises receiving a transformation request to apply to one or more data regions of a data object with a topology map from an authorized application. The existing data topology map corresponding to the object metadata is fetched from the data storage processing unit in the dispersed storage network. The transformation reorder is applied to the one or more data regions of the data object. The updated topology map is returned to the authorized application.

Abstract: A stored multi-part object management method, system, and computer program product for managing a stored multi-part object in a data storage application that includes modifying a stored multi-part object based on executing a predetermined operation and reporting a change to the multi-part object as a result of the modifying based on receiving a status request for the multi-part object.
