Abstract
As disclosed herein, a computer implemented method for reading a record on a storage device includes reading, by a processor, the record from the storage device, and generating, by a processor, a header corresponding to the record. The method further includes adding, by a processor, header information corresponding to the metadata to the header, and providing, by a processor, the header and the record to a host. Also disclosed herein, a computer implemented method for writing a record on a storage device includes receiving, by a processor, a header and the record from a host to be written to the storage device, and determining, by a processor, metadata included in header information corresponding to the header. The method further includes determining, by a processor, a write behavior specified by the metadata, and writing, by a processor, the metadata and the record to the storage device according to the write behavior.
