Ordering records for timed meta-data generation in a blocked record environment

Abstract:

Embodiments are described for ordering records. Aspects include blocking one or more records and storing the one or more blocked records as a set of records. Aspects also include reserving space for a metadata record for each of the one or more blocked records that meet one or more selection criteria and generating the metadata record for each of the one or more blocked records that meet the one or more selection criteria. Aspects further include adding the metadata records to the set of blocked records and storing the set of records including the metadata records.
