  • Patent number: 11275733
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for mapping search nodes to a search head in a data intake and query system based on a tenant identifier in order to execute a query received by the data intake and query system. The mapping may allow same or similar search nodes to be used to execute queries that are associated with a particular tenant identifier, in order to take advantage of caching and local data stored with those search nodes. In some cases, search nodes can be mapped based on the tenant identifier using a hashing algorithm, such as a consistent hashing algorithm.
