  • Efficient distributed indexing of clumpy data
    Patent number: 10929466
    Abstract: Efficient distributed indexing of clumpy data is disclosed. For example, a plurality of data stores store a plurality of data objects, where a plurality of data references to each of the plurality of data objects is recorded on a distributed index and an index manager executes a processor to temporarily partition a namespace of the plurality of data references into a plurality of temporary partitions. A respective count of data references in each temporary partition is computed. A trend line approximating a distribution of data references is calculated based on the respective counts. A cumulative representation of the distribution of the respective counts is calculated based on the trend line. The namespace is repartitioned based on the cumulative representation resulting in a repartitioned namespace, where the distributed index is divided into index segments based on the repartitioned namespace.
