Abstract
A server system having one or more processors and memory stores a plurality of entities in a schemaless database. The entities are not structured in accordance with a predefined schema. The server system generates an index for the plurality of entities stored in the schemaless database. The index has a plurality of index entries sorted in a sort order. The server system receives a first request from an application and, in response to the first request, accesses an empirically-determined schema and generates a first response based on the empirically-determined schema. The empirically-determined schema is generated from the index. After generating the first response, the server system sends the first response to the application.
