Abstract
Systems and methods are described for unified processing of indexed and streaming data. A system enables users to query indexed data or specify processing pipelines to be applied to streaming data. In some instances, a user may specify a query intended to be run against indexed data, but may specify criteria that includes not-yet-indexed data (e.g., a future time frame). The system may convert the query into a data processing pipeline applied to not-yet-indexed data, thus increasing the efficiency of the system. Similarly, in some instances, a user may specify a data processing pipeline to be applied to a data stream, but specify criteria including data items outside the data stream. For example, a user may wish to apply the pipeline retroactively, to data items that have already exited the data stream. The system can convert the pipeline into a query against indexed data to satisfy the users processing requirements.
