Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of index management, and in particular relates to an intelligent global index management system. Background Art
[0002] In today's digital age, the explosive growth of data has posed severe challenges to large-scale cluster storage products. As a core component in the field of data management, the development of indexing technology is closely related to the overall evolution of information technology. From the early simple data structures to today's complex distributed architectures, indexing technology has been continuously innovated to adapt to the growing data scale and diversified application needs.
[0003] In a large-scale data storage environment, efficient and accurate retrieval and access to data has become a key task; the core role of indexing technology is to significantly reduce the time and resource consumption of data retrieval by establishing data mapping relationships; in this process, a series of key technologies have emerged and been applied.
[0004] Efficient index structure design is the primary link; traditional linear indexes are inefficient when processing large-scale data, while tree index structures such as B-trees and B+ trees greatly improve retrieval performance by optimizing data storage and access paths; in addition, rapid index construction and update technology is also crucial; as data is continuously added, modified, and deleted, the index needs to be able to reflect data changes in a timely and accurate manner to ensure the accuracy of retrieval results; at the same time, index storage and optimization technology also directly affects system performance and resource utilization efficiency; through reasonable storage layout and compression algorithms, the storage space occupied by the index can be reduced and the utilization rate of storage devices can be improved.
[0005] In the prior art, common index management solutions mainly include centralized index management and simple partitioning of distributed indexes. Centralized index management stores all index information in a central node. This architecture may show certain advantages in a small-scale data environment, such as simple management and relatively short query paths. However, when faced with large-scale cluster storage and high concurrent access, its limitations become increasingly obvious. First, single point failure has become a prominent problem. Since all index information depends on the central node, once the node fails, the index service of the entire system will be paralyzed, resulting in the inability to retrieve and access data normally, seriously affecting business continuity. Secondly, performance bottlenecks are also an unavoidable problem. A large number of index requests are concentrated on the central node, and its processing capacity can easily reach its limit, resulting in increased response delays and a significant decrease in retrieval efficiency.
[0006] The simple partitioning method of distributed indexes has alleviated the single point failure and performance bottleneck problems of centralized architectures to a certain extent; it distributes index data on multiple nodes according to certain rules; however, this method still has many shortcomings. Unbalanced data distribution is one of the common problems. Some partitions may carry too much index data, while other partitions are relatively idle, resulting in inefficient utilization of system resources; in addition, in scenarios where data is frequently updated, the update efficiency of the index is often difficult to meet the requirements; due to the imperfect coordination mechanism between partitions, update operations may be delayed or inconsistent, thereby affecting the accuracy of data retrieval; at the same time, the complexity of cross-partition queries also poses a huge challenge to the system; when the data to be queried spans multiple partitions, complex coordination and data integration operations are required, which not only increases the time cost of the query, but also may lead to inaccurate query results.
[0007] Disadvantages of existing technology:
[0008] High risk of single point failure: In the centralized index management architecture, the central node bears the responsibility of index management for the entire system. Once the node encounters hardware failure, software error, network interruption, etc., the entire index service will stop instantly, triggering a chain reaction, causing various data operations that rely on the index to stagnate. This single point failure risk is extremely fatal in business scenarios that require extremely high system reliability, such as financial transactions and medical data management.
[0009] Performance bottleneck: In a centralized architecture, all index requests are aggregated to the central node for processing. With the rapid growth of data volume and frequent concurrent access requests, the processing capacity of the central node will soon reach its limit. This will cause the request response time to be significantly extended and the system throughput to drop sharply, seriously affecting the efficiency of data retrieval and user experience.
[0010] Unbalanced data distribution: In the simple partitioning method of distributed index, due to unreasonable partitioning rules or dynamic changes in data characteristics, it is easy for some partitions to be overloaded while other partitions are idle. This not only leads to a waste of system resources, but also seriously restricts the overall performance, because the overloaded partitions will become slow in processing requests, thus affecting the response speed of the entire system.
[0011] Low index update efficiency: In an environment where data changes frequently, the existing index update mechanism often cannot keep up with the pace of data changes in a timely manner. This may be caused by communication delays between partitions, synchronization difficulties in update operations, or inefficient update algorithms. Untimely index updates will lead to inaccurate data retrieval results, which in turn affects the correctness of business decisions.
[0012] Cross-partition query is complex: When the data to be queried is distributed across multiple partitions, the existing cross-partition query mechanism requires a lot of coordination and data integration work; this includes transmitting query requests between different partitions, merging query results, and handling possible consistency issues; these complex operations not only increase the query time overhead, but also easily introduce errors, reducing the accuracy and reliability of the query. Summary of the invention
[0013] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent global index management system to improve the reliability of index management and eliminate single points of failure; enhance the performance of index processing and speed up data retrieval; achieve balanced distribution of index data and optimize system resource utilization; improve the efficiency of index updates and ensure the accuracy of data retrieval; simplify the process of cross-partition queries and reduce the complexity of queries.

[0046] Working principle, process / workflow and steps:
[0047] Working Principle: When the system starts, it is like a grand technological feast kicks off. First, the intelligent index controller quickly starts a comprehensive and in-depth data collection journey, like an experienced and sharp-eyed explorer, collecting information on data features and access patterns from various storage nodes. This process is like a comprehensive, high-precision deep scan of the entire data universe. Then, with its powerful computing power and complex and sophisticated algorithm system, it conducts in-depth analysis and fine mining of the massive amount of information collected, like a wise and insightful strategist, who can see the potential rules and trends from the complex data, and then carefully formulate the initial indexing strategy. The generation of this strategy is like drawing a blueprint for the entire system that is accurate to every detail.

[0048] Process / Workflow and Steps:
[0049] Data collection: The high-precision sensors in the data perception module sample data in real time with ultra-high frequency and accuracy, just like a super-precise scanner that does not miss any tiny corner of the data world. At the same time, the advanced data analysis software that works with it uses complex and efficient algorithms to finely screen and pre-process the sampled raw data. By removing noise, invalid information and abnormal data points, the truly critical data features and access pattern information are extracted. These carefully processed and refined data information is encapsulated into a standardized and normalized data format, and then quickly transmitted to the intelligent index controller through a high-speed, low-latency network link, providing a solid and reliable data foundation for subsequent strategy formulation.
[0050] Strategy formulation: After receiving massive amounts of data from the data perception module, the intelligent index controller quickly loads it into the internal large-capacity cache and memory for further in-depth analysis and processing; it uses complex machine learning models and optimization algorithms to conduct multi-level and multi-angle mining and analysis of these data, trying to find out the potential laws and trends hidden deep in the data; based on these in-depth analysis results, the intelligent index controller carefully formulates the initial index strategy, including but not limited to key decisions such as the structure design of the index, the partitioning method of the data, and the selection of the storage location; in order to ensure the effectiveness and optimality of the strategy, the generated strategy will be comprehensively evaluated and finely optimized through simulation and verification algorithms to ensure that it can perform at its best in actual applications and meet the various strict requirements of the system;
[0051] Policy distribution: The indexing policies that have been carefully optimized and verified are distributed to each distributed indexing node by the intelligent indexing controller in the form of highly compressed and efficiently transmitted data packets through high-speed network links.

[0052] Indexing operations: Distributed indexing nodes quickly carry out key operations such as index building, updating, and querying based on the precise indexing strategies they receive. During the indexing process, local data is carefully organized and efficiently stored in strict accordance with the structure and algorithm specified by the strategy.
