Abstract
The current document is directed to a query-as-a-service system (“QAAS system”) that collects enormous volumes of data from network-connected entities, referred to as “Things” in the phrase “Internet of Things,” persistently stores the collected data and provides a distributed-query-execution engine that allows remote clients to continuously execute queries against the collected data. In a described implementation, both the raw data and query results are persistently stored in the QAAS system, with the raw data stored for significantly longer periods of time. Query results generated by the query-processing engine are securely transmitted to QAAS remote clients for distribution to file systems, storage appliances, applications, and other data sinks within client systems.
