Identifying buckets for query execution using a catalog of buckets stored in a remote shared storage system

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for processing and executing queries in a data intake and query system. The data intake and query system maintains a catalog of buckets stored in a remote shared storage system. The buckets store raw machine data associated with a timestamp. The data intake and query receives a query identifying a set of data to be processed and a manner of processing the set of data, and executes the query based on the catalog of buckets.
