INDEXING HETEROGENEOUS SERCHABLE DATA IN A MULTI-TENANT CLOUD

摘要

In an example embodiment, a method for indexing data is provided. Primary data and auxiliary data is received from a first tenant in a computer network. A first index is then created for the primary data and the auxiliary data from the first tenant. The first index is stored in a first shard. Then primary data and auxiliary data are received from a second tenant in the computer network. A second index is created for the primary data and the auxiliary data from the second tenant. The second index is then stored in the first shard. The first shard is then stored in a first instance of a distributed database, the distributed database comprising a plurality of instances, each instance operating on a different logical or physical device.
