Abstract

A streaming ingest platform can improve latency and expense issues related to uploading data into a cloud data system. The streaming ingest platform can organize the data to be ingested into per-table chunks and per-account blobs. This data may be committed and may be made available for query processing before it is ingested into the target source tables. This significantly improves latency issues. The streaming ingest platform can also accommodate uploading data from various sources with different processing and communication capabilities, such as Internet of Things (IOT) devices.
