  • Patent number: 9514184
    Abstract: In an analytics system, an analyst can analyze data by submitting queries, e.g., through an interface to a database. The analytics system can implement multiple query systems that are each configured to query the database. Query systems can be optimized for handling particular types of queries or for querying particular data. As such, some query systems can process certain queries more quickly and/or more efficiently than other query systems. To take advantage of this, when a query is received, query classification rules can be applied to the query. Based on the query classification, a query system can be selected to process the query, and the query can be sent to the selected query system for processing.
