1. In a fifth-generation (5G) cellular network environment including unstructured data storage resources accessible to function entities, a method for receiving and processing operation commands on data stored in unstructured data storage function (UDSF) nodes, the method comprising:
maintaining a first record on a first UDSF node, the first record including a set of UDSF data blocks that are stored and maintained on the first UDSF node, the first UDSF node being implemented in a 5G cellular network;
receiving, from a network function having authorized access to the first record and via a single application programming interface (API) call from the network function, an operation command including an identifier of a subset of two or more UDSF data blocks from the set of UDSF data blocks of the first record and instructions associated with performing a command on the identified subset of two or more UDSF data blocks; and
causing the command to be executed on the identified subset of two or more UDSF data blocks from the operation command based on the instructions and the identifier of the subset of two or more UDSF data blocks.
