A method, computer program product, and computing system for identifying one or more first layer metadata blocks with a plurality of entries mapping to a plurality of entries of one or more second layer metadata blocks. The one or more second layer metadata blocks mapped to by the one or more first layer metadata blocks may be identified. A common back pointer for at least a subset of the plurality of entries of the one or more second layer metadata blocks may be generated, the common back pointer pointing from the at least a subset of the plurality of entries of the one or more second layer metadata blocks to the one or more first layer metadata blocks.

System and method for generating common metadata pointers

A method is disclosed, comprising: storing, in a memory of a first computing device, a log filter list that identifiers a plurality of log filters, each of the plurality of log filters being executed on a respective one of a plurality of nodes in a distributed computing system; removing a first log message from a data structure that is stored in the memory of the first computing device, the first log message being obtained by the first computing device from a first one of the plurality of log filters that is associated with a first log source; detecting whether the first log message includes a placeholder message that is generated by the first log filter while the first log source is in a paused state; and selecting the first log message for further processing, when the first log message does not include a placeholder message.
