Hello everyone, I was looking into the data modeling of LakeFS and I had a question about the "Ranges" in the Merkle tree. Is a range created and mapped to every object upload in lakeFS, such that there is a range for every object in lakeFS?

Hi,
Range holds multiple records - each one olds object metadada. Meta-range maps all the ranges, that in total maps all the objects committed into lakefs.

The ranges can be used by multiple meta-ranges. So committing changes doesn't require to re-write the complete lake metadata.
