System and method for indexing time-series-based data

Abstract:

A system can include one or more processors and non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform a method for indexing time-series-based event records in one or more event databases for speedy retrieval of event records of interest. In an embodiment, the method can comprise: receiving, at the system from a computing device, an inquiry from a user, the inquiry comprising an event having a time period and a changed attribute; retrieving, by the system from a computer database, at least one result event indicator, based on the time period and the changed attribute, from a hash table stored in the computer database; and retrieving, by the system, a search result based on inquiry and the one or more matched event records associated with the at least one result event indicator. Other embodiments are disclosed.
