Abstract
A method includes initializing an addressable array indexing data structure comprising addresses for respective strings having a first length, the addressable array indexing data structure comprising two or more levels of character arrays with each level being associated with a corresponding character position in the strings having the first length. The method also includes extracting variable length strings from one or more records in a data set, and populating entries in the addressable array indexing data structure for extracted strings having the first length with addresses for indexes corresponding to those strings, wherein addresses for strings having the first length are generated by selecting a character value from a character array at each of the levels in the addressable array indexing data structure. The method further includes receiving, from client devices, queries to the records in the data set, and processing the queries utilizing the addressable array indexing data structure.
