Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for partition segmenting in a distributed time-series database are disclosed. A first host receives a request to store a data element in a tile comprising linked segments including a head segment and a tail segment. The head and tail segments are associated with the same spatial and temporal boundaries, and the data element is within those boundaries. The first host determines that the data element is not stored in the head segment and forwards the data element to a next segment of the tile. An additional host receives a request to store the data element in the tail segment. The additional host determines that the data element is not stored in the tail segment and then stores the data element in the tail segment.
