According to one embodiment, one or more consistent states of a virtual machine (VM) are backed up and stored. An index library is used to extract, from the consistent state(s) of the VM, metadata corresponding to content files captured in the consistent state(s). The extracted metadata is stored into a metadata catalog, where the metadata catalog is subsequently downloaded by an index server to index the content files captured in the consistent state(s).

Methods and systems to index file data of virtual machine (VM) image

A distributed search framework with virtual indexing is disclosed. According to some embodiments, a virtual index that includes a first physical index is created, where the first physical index includes a first number of shards. A request to index a document is received. In response to the request, whether the first physical index has reached a capacity threshold is determined. In response to determining that the first physical index has reached the capacity threshold, a second physical index is automatically created and added to the virtual index, where the second physical index includes a second number of shards. The document is added into the second physical index.
