Building and using combined multi-type sub-indices to search NoSQL databases

Abstract:

Building and using multiple different types of sub-indices to search a database is provided. A plurality of different physical data ranges is generated within the database based on a set of logical hot data ranges and a set of logical non-hot data ranges to form a set of physical hot data ranges and a set of physical non-hot data ranges. A set of sub-index types is built for each respective data range of the plurality of different physical data ranges within the database using a set of selected high-speed sub-index types for the set of physical hot data ranges and another set of selected sub-index types for the set of physical non-hot data ranges to accelerate data availability for query. An index is built for the database using the set of sub-index types built for each respective data range of the plurality of different physical data ranges within the database.
