1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processing device, a request to perform an operation for a first object in a storage system, wherein the request comprises a first custom path for the first object that represents content of the first object, wherein at least a portion of the first custom path for the first object comprises a hash value resulting from a hash function applied to content of the first object;
identifying a plurality of other objects each having custom paths that are similar to the first custom path for the first object of the request;
determining, by the processing device, a second object of the plurality of other objects, the second object having a second custom path that satisfies a similarity criterion with respect to the first custom path for the first object;
identifying, by the processing device, a storage node of the storage system comprising a data store that stores the second object; and
performing, by the processing device, the operation for the first object using the data store of the identified storage node.
