Globally distributed compliance enforcement

1. A method for requesting data comprising:

receiving, by a first query node, a local query request to read a first data of the data;

making a determination that the first data comprises a local portion and a remote portion;

in response to the determination:

executing the local query request by a query engine in a first geographic location in which a first requestor that sent the local query request is located, to obtain a first query result, wherein the first query result comprises the local portion;

executing the local query request by a second query engine in a second geographic location, in which the first requestor that sent the local query request is not located, to obtain a second query result, wherein the second query result comprises the remote portion;

obtaining a first compliance rule based on at least one of the first geographic location and the second geographic location;

generating an exportable result by applying the first compliance rule to the second query result, wherein the exportable result does not include a portion of the remote portion, wherein the exportable result includes a count of a number of fields of the remote portion; and

transmitting both of the first query result and the exportable result to the first requestor.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

obtaining a second compliance rule based on the query execution data,

before transmitting the exportable result, removing a second portion of the remote portion specified by the second compliance rule.

9. A system comprising:

a first query node located in a first geographic location comprising a data repository, a query engine, and a compliance engine;

wherein the first query node is configured to:

receive a local query request to read a first data;

make a determination that the first data comprises a local portion and a remote portion;

in response to the determination:

execute, by the query engine, the local query request by the query engine to obtain a first query result, wherein the first query result comprises the local portion;

execute the local query request by a second query engine in a second geographic location, in which a first requestor that sent the local query request is not located, to obtain a second query result, wherein the second query result comprises the remote portion;

obtain, by the compliance engine, a first compliance rule based on at least one of the first geographic location, the second geographic location, and the query execution data;

generate, by the compliance engine, an exportable result by applying the first compliance rule to the first query result, wherein the exportable result does not include a portion of the remote portion, wherein the exportable result includes a count of a number of fields of the remote portion, wherein the remote portion is not stored in the data repository; and

transmit both of the first query result and the exportable result to the first requestor.

10. The system of claim 9 , the first query node is further configured to:

receive a remote query request to read a second data of the data;

make a second determination that the second data comprises a second local portion and a second remote portion;

in response to the second determination:

execute the remote query request by the query engine in the first geographic location, in which a second requestor that sent the remote query request is not located, to obtain a third query result, wherein the third query result comprises the second local portion;

obtain a second compliance rule based on at least one of the first geographic location, the second geographic location;

generate a second exportable result by applying the second compliance rule to the third query result, wherein the second exportable result does not include a portion of the second local portion, wherein the second exportable result includes a second count of a number of fields of the second local portion;

execute the remote query request by the query engine in the second geographic location, in which the requestor that sent the remote query request is located, to obtain a fourth query result, wherein the fourth query result comprises the second remote portion;

transmit both of the fourth query result and the second exportable result to the second requestor.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first requestor is one selected from a group consisting of a client and a second query node.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first requestor is an intermediate requestor.

13. The system of claim 12 , the first query node further configured to:

receive, by the intermediate requestor, the exportable result; and

transmit, by the intermediate requestor, the exportable result to a source requestor.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein executing the local query request by the query engine in the first geographic location generates query execution data.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the first query node is further configured to:

obtain a second compliance rule based on the query execution data,

before transmitting the exportable result, remove a second portion of the remote portion specified by the second compliance rule.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by at least one processor perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving, by a first query node, a local query request to read a first data of the data;

making a determination that the first data comprises a local portion and a remote portion;

in response to the determination:

executing the local query request by a query engine in a first geographic location, in which a first requestor that sent the local query request is located, to obtain a first query result, wherein the first query result comprises the local portion;

executing the local query request by a second query engine in a second geographic location, in which the first requestor that sent the local query request is not located, to obtain a second query result, wherein the second query result comprises the remote portion;

obtaining a first compliance rule based on at least one of the first geographic location, the second geographic location;

generating an exportable result by applying the first compliance rule to the second query result, wherein the exportable result does not include a portion of the remote portion, wherein the exportable result includes a count of a number of fields of the remote portion; and

transmitting both of the first query result and the exportable result to the first requestor.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 ,

in response to the second determination:

executing the remote query request by the query engine in the first geographic location, in which a second requestor that sent the remote query request is not located, to obtain a third query result, wherein the third query result comprises the second local portion;

obtaining a second compliance rule based on at least one of the first geographic location, the second geographic location;

generating a second exportable result by applying the second compliance rule to the third query result, wherein the second exportable result does not include a portion of the second local portion, wherein the second exportable result includes a second count of a number of fields of the second local portion;
