Abstract
Systems and methods for storing and retrieving data elements transmitted via data streams received from distributed devices connected via a network. The received data elements may be stored in block stores on the distributed devices. The stored data-elements may be allocated to data-blocks of a block-store that have assigned block-identifiers and further allocated to events of the data-blocks that have assigned token-names. Stream-schema of the received data-streams may comprise a list of token-names and an index-definition for each corresponding data-stream. Indices may be generated for the event-allocated data-elements. A query may be executed in order to retrieve data-elements of the received data-streams based on the indices.
