Abstract

A method for creating a semantically aggregated index in an indexer-agnostic index building system includes: extracting documents from a data source, each document including a data object; distributing the documents to a plurality of processing nodes within the system; for each node: indexing the data objects for each document into fields using semantic rules; and grouping indexed data objects for related fields by: classifying the documents into logical groups based on the semantic rules; and creating a searchable index shard for related logical groups.
