Abstract

A system and method of generating platform-dependent queries from a platform-agnostic query are disclosed. A data pipeline comprising a plurality of events is implemented. Each event in the plurality of events has a set of platform-dependent metadata associated therewith and each of the plurality of events is processed by one of a plurality of ingestion platforms. Metadata associated with each of the plurality of events is stored in a combined metadata repository. The combined metadata repository stores metadata extracted from two or more platforms in a first repository. A platform-agnostic query configured to obtain one or more metadata search results from the platform-dependent metadata is received and deployed to the first repository within the combined metadata repository. The platform-agnostic query is configured to return a result set including metadata obtained from each of the two or more platforms.

Claims (48)

1. A system for generating item recommendations, comprising:

a memory having instructions stored thereon, and a processor configured to read the instructions to:

implement a data pipeline comprising a plurality of events, wherein each event in the plurality of events has a set of platform-dependent metadata associated therewith, and wherein each of the plurality of events is processed by one of a plurality of ingestion platforms;

store metadata associated with each of the plurality of events in a combined metadata repository, wherein the combined metadata repository stores metadata extracted from two or more platforms in a first repository;

receive a platform-agnostic query configured to obtain one or more metadata search results from the platform-dependent metadata; and

deploy the platform-agnostic query to the first repository within the combined metadata repository, wherein the platform-agnostic query is configured to return a result set including metadata obtained from each of the two or more platforms.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the combined metadata repository comprises a schema repository.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to read the instructions to:

extract a first set of metadata from the data pipeline, wherein the first set of metadata is associated with a first platform;

generate a metadata schema for the first set of metadata; and

compare the generated metadata schema to a plurality of stored metadata schemas maintained by the combined metadata repository.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to read the instructions to generate a first platform-dependent query from the platform-agnostic query, wherein the first platform-dependent query is configured to be deployed to the first repository.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the first platform-dependent query is generated by applying a first set of conversion rules to the platform-agnostic query.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to read the instructions to:

receive one or more user query parameters; and

generate the platform-agnostic query in a predetermined platform-agnostic language.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the platform-agnostic language is SQL.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor cause a device to perform operations comprising:

implementing a data pipeline comprising a plurality of events, wherein each event in the plurality of events has a set of platform-dependent metadata associated therewith, and wherein each of the plurality of events is processed by one of a plurality of ingestion platforms;

storing metadata associated with each of the plurality of events in a combined metadata repository, wherein the combined metadata repository stores metadata extracted from two or more platforms in a first repository;

receiving a platform-agnostic query configured to obtain one or more metadata search results from the platform-dependent metadata; and

deploying the platform-agnostic query to the first repository within the combined metadata repository, wherein the platform-agnostic query is configured to return a result set including metadata obtained from each of the two or more platforms.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the combined metadata repository comprises a schema repository.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor cause the device to perform further operations comprising:

extracting a first set of metadata from the data pipeline, wherein the first set of metadata is associated with a first platform;

generating a metadata schema for the first set of metadata; and

comparing the generated metadata schema to a plurality of stored metadata schemas maintained by the combined metadata repository.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor cause the device to perform further operations comprising generating a first platform-dependent query from the platform-agnostic query, wherein the first platform-dependent query is configured to be deployed to the first repository.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first platform-dependent query is generated by applying a first set of conversion rules to the platform-agnostic query.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor cause the device to perform further operations comprising:

receiving one or more user query parameters; and

generating the platform-agnostic query in a predetermined platform-agnostic language.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the platform-agnostic language is SQL.

15. A method, comprising:

implementing a data pipeline comprising a plurality of events, wherein each event in the plurality of events has a set of platform-dependent metadata associated therewith, and wherein each of the plurality of events is processed by one of a plurality of ingestion platforms;

storing metadata associated with each of the plurality of events in a combined metadata repository, wherein the combined metadata repository stores metadata extracted from two or more platforms in a first repository;

receiving a platform-agnostic query configured to obtain one or more metadata search results from the platform-dependent metadata; and

deploying the platform-agnostic query to the first repository within the combined metadata repository, wherein the platform-agnostic query is configured to return a result set including metadata obtained from each of the two or more platforms.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the combined metadata repository comprises a schema repository.

17. The method of claim 16 , comprising:

extracting a first set of metadata from the data pipeline, wherein the first set of metadata is associated with a first platform;

generating a metadata schema for the first set of metadata; and

comparing the generated metadata schema to a plurality of stored metadata schemas maintained by the combined metadata repository.

18. The method of claim 15 , comprising generating a first platform-dependent query from the platform-agnostic query, wherein the first platform-dependent query is configured to be deployed to the first repository.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the first platform-dependent query is generated by applying a first set of conversion rules to the platform-agnostic query.

20. The method of claim 15 , comprising:

receiving one or more user query parameters; and

generating the platform-agnostic query in a predetermined platform-agnostic language.
