Abstract:

The approaches presented herein may include loading a plurality of metadata instances for a plurality of data blocks stored in a database, each metadata instance of the plurality of metadata instances indicating a respective data block structure applied to aggregate a set of data messages. The approaches may include processing a first metadata instance corresponding to a first set of one or more data blocks of the plurality of data blocks and a second metadata instance corresponding to a second set of one or more data blocks of the plurality of data blocks to perform an anomaly storage check between the first set of one or more data blocks of the plurality of data blocks and the second set of one or more data blocks of the plurality of data blocks. The approaches may include generating an output based at least in part on the anomaly storage check.
