Abstract: Resegmenting chunks of data for load balancing is disclosed. A plurality of first chunks of data is received. The plurality of first chunks of data includes one or more entries that include raw data produced by a component of an information technology environment and that reflects activity in the information technology environment. The plurality of first chunks of data is resegmented into a plurality of second chunks of data based on a source type of the plurality of first chunks. A first subset of the plurality of second chunks of data is distributed to a first indexer of a set of indexers. An occurrence of a trigger event is determined, and in response to the trigger event, a second subset of the plurality of second chunks of data is distributed to a second indexer of the set of indexers.

Abstract: A method to assist with processing distributed jobs by retrieving and/or synchronizing supplemental job data. The method includes: transmitting, by a first component of a first execution environment via a first connection to a second component of a second execution environment, a first request associated with a job; receiving, by the first component via a second connection from the second component, a second request associated with the job; transmitting, by the first component via the second connection to the second component, a response to the second request, the response comprising an information associated with the job; and receiving, by the first component via the first connection from the second component, a result of the job.

Abstract: A method to assist with processing distributed jobs by retrieving and/or synchronizing supplemental job data. The method includes receiving a request pertaining to a job from a first virtualized execution environment using a non-persistent connection between the first virtualized execution environment and a second virtualized execution environment, transmitting, by the secondary machine using a persistent connection between the first virtualized execution environment and the second virtualized execution environment, a task request for supplemental information pertaining to the job, generating a job result for the job based on the supplemental information received from the first virtualized execution environment via the persistent connection, and transmitting, to the first virtualized execution environment, the job result for the job using the non-persistent connection.

The plurality of first chunks of data includes one or more entries that include raw data produced by a component of an information technology environment and that reflects activity in the information technology environment. The plurality of first chunks of data is resegmented into a plurality of second chunks of data based on entry boundaries in at least some of the plurality of first chunks of data. A first subset of the plurality of second chunks of data is distributed to a first indexer of a set of indexers. An occurrence of a trigger event is determined, and in response to the trigger event, a second subset of the plurality of second chunks of data is distributed to a second indexer of the set of indexers.

Abstract: A method to assist with processing distributed jobs by retrieving and/or synchronizing supplemental job data. The method includes receiving a request to perform a job and opening a first connection (e.g., persistent connection) between a primary machine and a secondary machine, and transmitting by the primary machine a request pertaining to the job to the secondary machine using a second connection, the job to be performed by the secondary machine. The method also includes receiving by the primary machine using the second connection a task request for supplemental information pertaining to the job, transmitting by the primary machine a task response including the supplemental information to the secondary machine, and receiving a job result for the job using the second connection.
