Abstract

A request for data is processed by identifying data within a data store satisfying the request, where an amount of the identified data exceeds a threshold, analyzing the identified data to produce an initial result set with a reduced amount of data including information summarizing the identified data, and generating one or more succeeding result sets each from a corresponding prior result set until a succeeding result set includes an amount of data satisfying the threshold. Each succeeding result set includes a reduced amount of data relative to the corresponding prior result set, and generating each succeeding result set includes filtering the corresponding prior result set and generating the succeeding result set including information summarizing the filtered result set.
