Abstract

A data query method is provided. The data query method includes receiving query description; processing, by a processor, the query description using one or more components; and determining query statement. Processing the query description includes obtaining query field from the query description; processing the query field using the one or more components; and determining a first sub-statement.

Claims (89)

1 . A data query method, comprising:

receiving query description that specifies at least one data source type and at least one query parameter;

loading an interface of at least one user-defined component onto a memory, obtaining a corresponding implementation of the at least one user-defined component, and grouping obtained implementations based on the at least one data source type;

processing, by a processor, the query description using one or more components, by identifying the at least one data source type and executing data-source-specific operations associated with the at least one data source type to generate query statement that conforms to specified query parameters; and

dynamically adjusting the query statement based on the at least one data source type to enhance compatibility and processing efficiency;

wherein processing the query description comprises:

obtaining query field from the query description;

processing the query field using the one or more components;

determining a first sub-statement;

obtaining filter type field from the query description that defines a specific subset of data types within the data source;

processing the filter type field by loading an interface of a dedicated filtering component onto the memory, obtaining its implementation, and processing one or more dedicated filtering components configured to handle character, numeric, or date data types to generate a filter sub-statement that reflects the filtered results in a format compatible with the specified data source; and

determining a query statement by joining the first sub-statement with the filter sub-statement.

2 . The data query method of claim 1 , wherein processing the query description comprises:

determining whether the query field comprises an aggregate query field; and

processing the aggregate query field using a first component;

wherein the first component is configured to provide implementations for a same type of aggregation function that are defined differently by different data sources.

3 . The data query method of claim 1 , wherein processing the query description comprises:

determining whether the query field comprises a time data query field; and

processing the time data query field using a second component;

wherein the second component is configured to provide implementations for different formats or types of time data in different data sources.

4 . The data query method of claim 1 , wherein processing the query description comprises:

determining whether the query field comprises a time data query field;

processing the time data query field using a second component;

determining whether the query field comprises an aggregate query field; and

subsequent to processing the time data query field using the second component, processing the aggregate query field using a first component;

wherein the first component is configured to provide implementations for a same type of aggregation function that are defined differently by different data sources; and

the second component is configured to provide implementations for different formats or types of time data in different data sources.

5 . The data query method of claim 1 , wherein processing the filter type field comprises at least one of:

processing filter type field using a third component to generate a first filter sub-statement configured to filter character type fields;

processing filter type field using a fourth component to generate a second filter sub-statement configured to filter numeric type fields; or

processing filter type field using a fifth component to generate a third filter sub-statement configured to filter date data type fields;

wherein the filter sub-statement comprises at least one of the first filter sub-statement, the second filter sub-statement, or the third filter sub-statement.

6 . The data query method of claim 5 , further comprising:

obtaining filter condition field from the query description; or

obtaining the at least one data source type from the query description.

7 . The data query method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining classification field from the query description; and

determining a third sub-statement.

8 . The data query method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining order field from the query description; and

determining a fourth sub-statement.

9 . The data query method of claim 1 , wherein determining query statement comprises joining multiple sub-statements including the first sub-statement into the query statement.

10 . The data query method of claim 1 , further comprising:

loading the query statement onto a query engine; and

querying a data source, by the query engine, to obtain query result.

11 . The data query method of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining whether the query engine supports the data source;

determining whether querying the data source comprises a multi-table query;

upon a determination that querying the data source comprises the multi-table query, splitting the multi-table query into multiple single-table queries; and

assembling query results from the multiple single-table queries.

12 . The data query method of claim 10 , wherein the query engine is a Presto query engine.

13 . The data query method of claim 1 , further comprising:

loading an interface of a respective component of the one or more components onto the memory; and

obtaining respective implementations of the respective component from the interface of the respective component.

14 . The data query method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the query description;

wherein determining the query description comprises defining at least one of the query field, filter type field, filter condition field, and order field.

15 . The data query method of claim 1 , further comprising defining the one or more components;

wherein a respective component of the one or more components is defined to comprise a plurality of interfaces compatible with different data sources;

the respective component is configured to provide implementations for different formats or types of data in the different data sources.

16 . The data query method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more components comprise at least one user-defined component.

17 . The data query method of claim 1 , wherein the query statement is a SQL statement.

18 . A data query apparatus, comprising:

a memory;

one or more processors;

wherein the memory and the one or more processors are connected with each other; and

the memory stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the one or more processors to:

receive query description that specifies at least one data source type and at least one query parameter;

load an interface of at least one user-defined component onto the memory, obtaining a corresponding implementation of the at least one user-defined component, and grouping obtained implementations based on the at least one data source type;

process the query description using one or more components, by identifying the at least one data source type and executing data-source-specific operations associated with the at least one data source type to generate query statement that conforms to specified query parameters; and

dynamically adjust query statement based on the at least one data source type to enhance compatibility and processing efficiency;

wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

obtain query field from the query description;

process the query field using the one or more components;

determine a first sub-statement;

obtain filter type field from the query description that defines a specific subset of data types within the data source;
