Processing of splits of control areas and control intervals

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor performs operations, the operations comprising:
• storing, in data structure maintained in a computational device, how many control areas splits have occurred to store a data set, wherein each control area split causes an addition of a single new control area;
• receiving, a command to add a new data record to the data set;
• determining, whether adding the new data record to the data set will result in a threshold for control area splits to be exceeded;
• and
• in response to determining that adding the new data record to the data set will result in the threshold for control area splits to be exceeded, creating at least two new control areas in addition to continuing to use one existing control area for storing the data set.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code configured to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• storing, in data structure maintained in a computational device, how many control areas splits have occurred to store a data set, wherein each control area split causes an addition of a single new control area;
• receiving, a command to add a new data record to the data set;
• determining, whether adding the new data record to the data set will result in a threshold for control area splits to be exceeded;
• and
• in response to determining that adding the new data record to the data set will result in the threshold for control area splits to be exceeded, creating at least two new control areas in addition to continuing to use one existing control area for storing the data set.

A method for deploying computing infrastructure, comprising integrating computer-readable code into a computational device, wherein the code in combination with the computational device performs operations, the operations comprising:

• storing, in data structure maintained in a computational device, how many control areas splits have occurred to store a data set, wherein each control area split causes an addition of a single new control area;
• receiving, a command to add a new data record to the data set;
• determining, whether adding the new data record to the data set will result in a threshold for control area splits to be exceeded;
• and
• in response to determining that adding the new data record to the data set will result in the threshold for control area splits to be exceeded, creating at least two new control areas in addition to continuing to use one existing control area for storing the data set.
