Abstract
Disclosed is a technique that can be performed in a distributed computer network. The technique can include a worker node that receives search instructions defined by a search service based on at least a portion of a search scheme defined by a data intake and query system, to cause the worker node to obtain search results from distributed data storage systems communicatively coupled to the worker node over a network. The distributed data storage systems include an external data storage system and/or an internal data storage system of the data intake and query system. The worker node obtains the search results by searching the distributed data storage systems in accordance with the search instructions, and communicating, over the network to the search service, a combination of search results based on the search results to cause an output by the data intake and query system in accordance with the search scheme.
