  • Publication number: 20230315641
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for performing cache aware searching. In response to a search query, a first bucket and a second bucket in remote storage for processing the search query. A determination is made that a first file in the first bucket is present in a cache when the search query is received. In response to the search query, a search is performed using the first file based on the determination that the first file is present in the cache when the search query is received, and the search is performed using a second file from the second bucket once the second file is stored in the cache.

  • Patent number: 11748160
    Abstract: Load balancing processes are performed in an observability pipeline system comprising a plurality of computing resources. In some aspects, the observability pipeline system defines a leader role and worker roles. A plurality of computing jobs each include computing tasks associated with event data. The leader role dispatches the computing tasks to the worker roles according to a least in-flight task dispatch criteria, which includes iteratively: identifying an available worker role; identifying one or more incomplete computing jobs; selecting, from the one or more incomplete computing jobs, a computing job that has the least number of in-flight computing tasks currently being executed in the observability pipeline system; identifying a next computing task from the selected computing job; and dispatching the next computing task to the available worker role. The worker roles execute the computing tasks by applying an observability pipeline process to the event data associated with the respective computing task.

  • Patent number: 11663212
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing and executing queries in a data intake and query system. The data intake and query system receives a query identifying a set of data to be processed and a manner of processing the set of data. The data intake and query system parses the query and uses a metadata catalog to dynamically identify configuration parameters of datasets and/or rules associated with the query. The identified configuration parameters are communicated to a query processing component of the data intake and query system for use in executing the query.

  • Patent number: 11157498
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing and executing queries in a data intake and query system. The data intake and query system receives a first query identifying a set of data to be processed and a manner of processing the set of data. The data intake and query system parses the first query and uses a dataset association records of a metadata catalog to dynamically identify one or more datasets associated with the query and generate a second query. The data intake and query system executes the second query.

  • Patent number: 10678696
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a prefetching method that may include copying, in response to a search query, a first bucket from a remote storage to a cache. The first bucket may include first data associated with the search query. The method may further include identifying a first file type associated with a first file in the first bucket. The first file may be associated with a usage status. The method may further include accessing, based on the search query, a second bucket from the remote storage. The second bucket may include second data associated with the search query. The method may further include identifying a second file in the second bucket having the first file type, and copying, in response to the usage status indicating that the first file was used in processing the search query, the second file from the remote storage to the cache.
