    Abstract: Resegmenting chunks of data for load balancing is disclosed. A plurality of first chunks of data is received. The plurality of first chunks of data includes one or more entries that include raw data produced by a component of an information technology environment and that reflects activity in the information technology environment. The plurality of first chunks of data is resegmented into a plurality of second chunks of data based on a source type of the plurality of first chunks. A first subset of the plurality of second chunks of data is distributed to a first indexer of a set of indexers. An occurrence of a trigger event is determined, and in response to the trigger event, a second subset of the plurality of second chunks of data is distributed to a second indexer of the set of indexers.

    Abstract: A computer implemented system is described for assigning executable jobs to pipeline sets, whereby the jobs may be network based computer jobs. The assigning includes generating a weight for each pipeline set of multiple pipeline sets to obtain multiple weights. Generating a weight includes obtaining duty cycle metrics for pipeline software threads in the pipeline set. The duty cycle metrics include a measure of an amount of time that a corresponding pipeline thread is executing and actively processing data. Generating the weight further includes determining the weight for the pipeline set based at least in part on the duty cycle metrics. The method further includes assigning a job request to a target pipeline set selected from the pipeline sets according to a weighted random algorithm, wherein the weighted random algorithm uses the weights.

    Abstract: Dynamic reassignment of search processes into workload pools includes receiving a search query to search at least one data store, assigning the search query to a first workload pool, and executing the search query using a first hardware resource in the first workload pool, the first hardware resource corresponding to a first portion of a hardware device. Dynamic reassignment further includes receiving, while executing the search query, an update command to move the search query to a second workload pool, moving, while executing the search query, the search query to the second workload pool; and continuing execution of the search query using a second hardware resource in the second workload pool. The second hardware resource corresponds to a second portion of the hardware device.
