Abstract
In general, a block of data in a data file is stored in a multi-tier storage system. The block of data includes multiple rows and multiple entry values per row, including values for a particular entry. The values of the particular entry in the data block can be used to determine whether to move the data block to a different tier of a multi-tier storage system. The block of data can then either be relocated in a different tier or kept in the current tier.
