Abstract

Systems, processing methods and computer programs that rapidly ingest, archive and dynamically query the data to retrieve it from short and long term storage devices are disclosed. Data is partitioned on queryable fields and metadata relating to the partitioned data is stored in a database. This allows for data to be stored in a persistent queryable state, providing query transparency irrespective of the location that the data is actually stored. Software code with differing functionality that shares consistent data structures and methods is used in components of the system to provide flexibility and speed.
