Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are operative in association with a table in a sorted, distributed key-value primary store. The table has associated therewith one or more tablets, wherein each tablet being a partition of the table and that contains key-value pairs in a given sub-range of keys. According to the method, a secondary index that is adapted to optimize particular search and query operations against the primary store is created. The secondary index is stored in a manner such secondary index entries are co-partitioned with entries of the primary store to which the secondary index entries refer. This co-partitioning of the secondary index is then maintained throughout various tablet lifecycle operations (e.g., ingest, minor compaction, major compaction, scan, split and merge) associated with at least one tablet. An information retrieval system may leverage the secondary indexing scheme together with query processing to find and retrieve documents matching a user's query.
