Thanks for the comments. But, I do not agree with your comments
completely.
First: There are lot of practical cases where the items/objects have to be
identified distinctly eventhough there are 'N' number of items/objects
with the same or similar characteristics.

Second: My idea is to use the 'range' concept for the initial storage. The
attribute values do not change quite often for these items/objects. Even
when the request arrives to modify one or few of them, we can create
dedicated entries and divide the range into multiple entries with each of
them for a subrange.

productID:15-22
Now, if productId:18 is modified, the following will be done:
 - 1 dedicated entry with productId:18, with the updated attribute values.
 - 1 range entry with productId:15-17, with the existing/old attribute
values.
 - 1 range entry with productId:19-22, with the existing/old attribute
values.

Do you still think, the requirement can be handled in a different way?
