  • Patent number: 11250001
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to processing data records, and for a multi-phase partitioned data reduction. The first phase relates to processing data records and partitioning the records into a first partition of records having a common characteristic and a second partition of records that are not members of the first partition. The data records in each partition are subject to intra-partition data reduction responsive to a resource constraint. The data records in each partition are also subject to an inter-partition data reduction, also referred to as an aggregation to reduce a footprint for storing the records. Partitions and/or individual records are logically aggregated and a data reduction operation for the logical aggregation of records takes place in response to available resources.
