Systems, methods, and computer program products for searching objects, metadata associated with the objects, and attributes assigned to or associated with the metadata. Referring to herein as metadata for the metadata, these attributes may be associated with one or more metadata field values of a metadata field name which, in turn, may be associated with an object being or already indexed in a search index of a search system. Each attribute may be optional, dynamically created, indexed, and searchable via the search index. There can be multiple attributes associated with the same metadata field value, each being represented as a key-value pair. This metadata for the metadata approach can be highly efficient. For example, the ability to search multiple attributes associated with the same metadata field can eliminate the potential need to create multiple metadata fields for the same value in different languages, countries, etc.

System and method of search indexes using key-value attributes to searchable metadata

The session-based server deployment can be comprised of an engine tier that is designed for high throughput processing of communications and a state tier that maintains state information for access by the engine tier. The engine tier can include a plurality of engine nodes that process incoming messages. The state nodes can contain call state, including various timers. When processing a call, an engine can set various timers in the state tier. Upon expiration of a timer, the state node can transmit a notification assigning the timer to the corresponding engine node which handled previous communications for the call. This affinity between the timer and its respective engine can provide numerous benefits, such as reduced latency and more localized data access.
