A method includes scanning, by a device of a plurality of devices, a directory of a file system. The directory includes a plurality of subdirectories, and each device of the plurality of devices corresponds to a different queue of a plurality of queues. The method also includes inserting, by the device, a plurality of scanning tasks into a subset of the plurality of queues in a round robin fashion. The plurality of scanning tasks correspond to the plurality of subdirectories and responding to a scanning task of the plurality of scanning tasks includes scanning a subdirectory of the plurality of subdirectories.

A method includes generating a table in a relational database, the table comprising an empty column reserved for a custom tag. The column has a default column name. The method also includes, in response to an instruction to create the custom tag, generating a column mapping that maps a name of the custom tag to the column name. The column mapping is stored outside the relational database and is used by a parser to translate between the name of the custom tag and the column name.
