Query generation using a dataset association record of a metadata catalog

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for processing and executing queries in a data intake and query system. The data intake and query system receives a first query identifying a set of data to be processed and a manner of processing the set of data. The data intake and query system parses the first query and uses a dataset association records of a metadata catalog to dynamically identify one or more datasets associated with the query and generate a second query. The data intake and query system executes the second query.
