A method begins by a processing module a dispersed storage network (DSN) generating, based on a data object name, a first retrieval request for retrieving metadata addressing information, where the first retrieval request is formatted in accordance with a read request format of the DSN. The method continues with the processing module generating, based on retrieved metadata addressing information, a second retrieval request for retrieving metadata, where the second retrieval request is formatted in accordance with the read request format of the DSN. The method continues with the processing module generating, based on retrieved metadata, a third retrieval request for retrieving at least a portion of a data object associated with the data object name, where the third retrieval request is formatted in accordance with the read request format of the DSN. |
