1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • receiving, at a first computing device, a plurality of data objects, with each data object being made up of a plurality of N blocks, and with the objects being made up of data collected in a cache as a log structure;

    receiving an access history data set including information indicative of a heat rank for each data object, with the heat rank of a given data object being indicative of how often the given data object has been accessed;

    grouping the data objects into a plurality of object groups such that all objects in each object group has the same heat rank; and

    for each given object group;

    generating complex object metadata including information identifying the data objects making up the given object group,composing, at a first node, a complex object including the data objects of the given object group and the complex object metadata associated with the given object group;

    determining a cold rank complex object subset of the complex objects such that each complex object of the subset is made up of a plurality of data objects having a heat rank that is below a predetermined threshold; and

    transmitting, from the first computing to a second computing device, the complex objects of the cold rank complex object subset.
