Abstract
Systems and methods are provided in order to avoid ingesting the entire contents of one or more data sources. An object may be associated with one or more pieces/fragments of data that can be stored in different data sources. When a request for the object is initiated, a search for those pieces/fragments of data can be performed. Nodes associated with each data source may generate data queries appropriate for its corresponding data source, retrieve, and if needed transform the data into an object-based data structure. Any pieces/fragments of data that have been discovered and retrieved can be joined, e.g., by an application programming interface server, and forwarded to a requesting client or application. In this way, only data relevant to the object is obtained. Moreover, object versioning can be employed so that the most up-to-date data is obtained.
