Patent number: 9589031Abstract: A system for storing time series data includes an ingester that prepares metadata indices associated with blocks of incoming time series data and stores the blocks of data in a time series database and the indices in a separate index database. The time series database distributes storage of the data blocks among multiple data nodes. A query layer receives queries and uses the index database to determine which data blocks are needed to process the query, and then requests only those data blocks from the time series database. Processing of the query is performed within the time series database only on those data nodes that contain relevant data, and partial results are passed to an output layer for formation into a final query result.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jerry Lin, Kareem Sherif Aggour, Brian Scott Courtney, John Alan Interrante, Christina Ann LaComb, Sunil Mathur, Christopher Thomas McConnell, Quinn Snell

Patent number: 9152672Abstract: A method for performing queries on a distributed time series data storage system is presented. The time series data storage system has a time series database that stores data blocks containing time stamped data across a plurality of computing devices. The system also includes an index database that stores an index associated with the time stamped data in each data block. The method includes the steps of sending a query, requesting indices, returning the indices, preparing a sub-query, forwarding the sub-query to an evaluator, evaluating the sub-query, performing a logical operation on each sub-query's result, receiving the sub-results at an output handler, and combining the sub-results.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jerry Lin, Kareem Sherif Aggour, Brian Scott Courtney, John Alan Interrante, Christina Ann LaComb, Sunil Mathur, Christopher Thomas McConnell, Quinn Snell

Patent number: 9087098Abstract: A service for storing time series data provides a data pipe for receiving time series data, a query pipe for making requests to the service, and a result pipe for receiving output from the service. Data sent to the query pipe is processed by an ingester that prepares metadata indices associated with blocks of incoming time series data and stores the blocks of data in a time series database and the indices in a separate index database. A query layer receives queries from the query pipe and uses the index database to determine which data blocks are needed to process the query, and then requests only those data blocks from the time series database. Processing of the query is performed within the time series database only on those data nodes that contain relevant data, and partial results are passed to an output layer for formation into a final query result which is sent out by the results pipe.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jerry Lin, Kareem Sherif Aggour, Brian Scott Courtney, John Alan Interrante, Christina Ann LaComb, Sunil Mathur, Christopher Thomas McConnell, Quinn Snell
