Abstract
A distributed database of time stamped records can be used to store time series data such as events occurring on the Internet. A distributed database of time stamped records can store segments of data that contain events for different time intervals. The volume of events occurring on the Internet introduces a “Big Data” variable that makes collections of data sets so large and complex they are difficult to manage. Disclosed are systems and methods to manage segments of a distributed database of time stamped records for optimal size (for storage and performance reasons etc.) and for proper visibility to data when different segments contain data for overlapping time periods.
