Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for receiving, by a server, based on input by a user, a request to lock a set of data. Responsively, the server modifies the set of data to be locked, and determines whether an amount of bandwidth required to index the locked data exceeds a threshold. Responsive to determining that the amount of bandwidth exceeds the threshold, the server instructs a secondary server to allocate bandwidth to index a first portion of the locked data. The server indexes a second portion of the locked data in parallel with the secondary server indexing the first portion of the locked data, and generates an index by collating the indexed first and second portions of the locked data. The server receives a search request for a portion of the locked data, and retrieves the portion of the locked data based on referencing the index.
