Abstract

A distributed search system can comprise a group of nodes assigned to different partitions. Each partition can store partial analytics data for a group of documents. At least one of the nodes can receive an analytics request from a user, send the request to a set of nodes, receive partial analytics results from the set of nodes and create a combined analytics result from the partial analytics results. The combined analytics result can include partial analytics results from a node in each partition.

Claims (20)

1 . A distributed search system comprising:

a group of nodes assigned to different partitions, each partition storing document content and metadata for a group of documents, wherein at least one of the nodes receives an analytics request from a user, sends the request to a set of nodes, receives partial analytics results from the set of nodes and creates a combined analytics result from the partial analytics results, and wherein the combined analytics result includes partial analytics results from a node in each partition.

2 . The distributed search system of claim 1 , wherein the analytics result concerns document text and metadata stored at a node.

3 . The distributed search system of claim 1 , wherein nodes store indexes for the group of documents.

4 . A computer implemented method comprising:

sending an analytics request to a set of nodes, each of the nodes being in a different partition, each partition storing partial analytics data for a group of documents;

receiving partial analytics results from the set of nodes; and

creating a combined analytics result from the partial results, wherein the combined analytics results include analytics results from a node in each partition.

5 . The distributed search system of claim 4 , wherein the analytics result concerns document text and metadata stored at a node.

6 . The computer implemented method of claim 5 , wherein analytics data is updated using document-based records from a control queue.

7 . The computer implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one of the results produces partial analytics results.

8 . The computer implemented method of claim 5 , wherein nodes store indexes from the group of documents.

9 . A computer readable medium containing code to:

send an analytics request to a set of nodes, each of the nodes being in a different partition, each partition storing partial analytics data for a group of documents;

receive partial analytics results from the set of nodes; and

create a combined analytics result from the partial results, wherein the combined analytics results include analytics results created from a node in each partition.

10 . The distributed search system of claim 9 , wherein the analytics result concerns document text and metadata stored at a node.

11 . The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein analytics data is updated using document-based records from a central queue.

12 . The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the at least one of the results produces partial analytics results.

13 . The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein nodes store results from the group of documents.
