Index masking based on insert contention ratio
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for masking indexes to improve processing performance when multiple processes compete for access to a data block, the method comprising:
- defining, by one or more computer processors, a mask type for an index;
determining, by one or more computer processors, that index contention exceeds a defined threshold;
determining, by one or more computer processors, that the mask type for the index is configured to insert the index without masking; and
in response to determining , masking the index, based, at least in part, according to a set of rules.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, computer program product, and computer system for masking indexes. The method may include masking the index if the index contention exceeds a defined threshold. The method may also include configuring the mask type for the index to insert the index without masking. In response to determining that the mask type for the index is configured to insert the index without masking, the index is masked according to a set of rules.
