  • Patent number: 12650965
    Abstract: A data intake and query system can manage the search of data stored at an external location relative to the data intake and query system using one or more indexers. The data intake and query system can receive data stored at the external location. The data intake and query system can process the data and generate an index using the one or more indexers. The data intake and query system can discard the data and store the index and a location identifier of the external location in one or more buckets. In response to a query, the data intake and query system can identify that at least a subset of the data is responsive to the query using the index and can obtain the at least the subset of the data from the external location using the location identifier.

  • Patent number: 12585638
    Abstract: A query coordinator can receive a query. The query coordinator can determine one or more data semantics of a first data processing system. The data semantics of the first data processing system may be based on execution of one or more queries by the first data processing system. The query coordinator can define a query processing scheme for obtaining and processing data based on the query. The query processing scheme may include instructions for a second data processing system to execute at least a portion of the query according to the data semantics of the first data processing system. The query coordinator can provide the query processing scheme to the second data processing system and obtain query results from the second data processing system.

  • Patent number: 12265525
    Abstract: A query coordinator can receive a query and identify a first portion of the query to be processed by a first data processing system and a second portion of the query to be processed by a second data processing system. The query coordinator can obtain a modified query based on identifying the first portion and the second portion of the query. The query coordinator can define a query processing scheme according to the modified query and provide the query processing scheme to the second data processing system. Based on providing the query processing scheme, the query coordinator can obtain an output of the second data processing system. The query coordinator can identify a second query based on the output and provide the second query to a component of the first data processing system.

  • Publication number: 20250028720
    Abstract: A query coordinator can receive and parse a query. Based on parsing the query, the query coordinator can identify one or more components of a first data processing system to obtain and process data according to the query. The query coordinator can define a query processing scheme based on identifying the one or more components and provide the query processing scheme to a second data processing system. Based on providing the query processing scheme, the query coordinator can obtain an output of the second data processing system. The query coordinator can identify a second query based on the output and provide the second query to the one or more components.

  • Patent number: 10225337
    Abstract: Managing cluster resources for a cluster. The method includes identifying a plurality of quiescence policies. Each of the quiescence policies define one or more conditions for cluster entities which when met, identify that cluster resources should be reclaimed from cluster entities by quiescing cluster entities. The method further includes, for each quiescence policy, identifying an amount of reclaimed capacity defining the amount of cluster resources that will be reclaimed by implementing the quiescence policy. The method further includes, for each quiescence policy, identifying an amount of reserve capacity defining the amount of cluster resources that should be reserved for resuming quiesced cluster entities. The method further includes; selecting a quiescence policy based on comparing the reclaimed capacities and reserve capacities for the quiescence policies. The method further includes, booking cluster resources for cluster entities on the cluster according to the selected quiescence policy.
