Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for efficiently storing information identifying journey instances within unstructured event data of a data intake and processing system. Each journey instance is illustratively associated with a series of events within the unstructured event data occurring over a journey duration. Because the unstructured event data may be constantly updated, any given inspection of the event data may yield both complete and incomplete instances. Storage of instance data over time can require updating of prior incomplete journey instances with complete versions of such instance detected at a later point in time. However, a data store of the unstructured event data may be unsuited for such updating, as the store may maintain version information for deleted data to reduce possibility of data loss. To address this issue, a separate structured data store, such as a columnar time series data store, is provided to efficiently store instance information.
