A solution is provided that efficiently tracks user paths within a large network. Raw node visit data may be received that indicates which users visited which nodes in the network at which time. This data may then be organized into sessions. Unique pathviews may be calculated for each session of the nodes visit data as well as the frequency of occurrence of each unique path view. This information may then be used to understand how users are progressing through a network.

Path discovery and analytics for network data

In an embodiment of the present invention, a record is read a single time, and it is evaluated against all conditions to identify the ones that it satisfies. By organizing the conditions into appropriate data structures, the process may be further optimized by ensuring that the record is not scanned multiple times.
