Abstract

A method, apparatus, computer system, and computer program product for managing information. A set of bucket hashes and comparison information for a data record are identified by a computer system. The set of bucket hashes is generated from the comparison information, wherein the set of bucket hashes and the comparison information form a metadata record. A number of candidate metadata records in a metadata database is identified by the computer system using the set of bucket hashes, wherein the number of candidate metadata records comprises a set of candidate bucket hashes and candidate comparison information. An entity membership is identified by the computer system for the data record from a comparison of the comparison information in the metadata record with the candidate comparison information in the number of candidate metadata records.
