    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.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide solutions for determining an elected search head captain is unqualified for the position, identifying a more qualified search head, and transferring the captain position to the more qualified search head. A method is provided that includes referencing qualification parameters in an elected search head captain, determining whether the newly elected search head captain is qualified for the position based on the parameters, identifying a more qualified search head to be the search head captain if the newly elected search head captain is determined to be unqualified for the position, and transferring the position of captain to the more qualified search head. The qualification parameters may include, for example, a pre-determined static flag set by an administrator of the search environment, and configuration replication status that corresponds to the most recent configuration state of the search head as recorded by the previous search head captain.
