Summary:Methods, systems, and apparatus for storing and accessing data stored in a data array are presented. In one embodiment, data is stored in a data array that includes a plurality of nodes. The nodes of the data array are segmented into one or more standard and priority pages. The pages are represented in a packed index. The priority pages are then cached and the standard pages are saved to disk. In another embodiment, data stored in a node of a data array may be accessed wherein the data array is segmented into at least one priority page and at least one standard page and the data array includes a plurality of nodes. A request for data stored in the node may be received. A priority page and/or a standard page may be searched for the node and, when found, the node may be accessed.
