A first storage node of the plurality of storage nodes may store a reference to a set of at least one collection object stored in the storage system. Each collection object of the set may include at least one of a reference to another collection object stored in the storage system and a reference to at least one data file stored in the storage system. The method may include receiving a first request at the first storage node. The first storage node, for each collection object of the set, may send a second request to a storage node storing the collection object. According to a second aspect there is also provided a storage node."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Method for handling requests in a storage system and a storage node for a storage system","description":"According to an embodiment there is provided a method for handling requests in a storage system including a plurality of storage nodes connected to each other via a communications network.
