Analysis of streaming data using deltas and snapshots

Abstract

Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to obtain snapshots used for analysis of streaming data. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes receiving initial data that includes a plurality of identifiers and corresponding timestamps, generating and storing a snapshot based on the initial data, wherein the snapshot includes the identifiers and a corresponding status, receiving a data stream that includes a subset of the identifiers, activity information for each identifier in the subset, and corresponding timestamps. The method further includes periodically analyzing the data stream to obtain a delta that includes an updated status for each identifier in the subset, storing the delta separate from the snapshot. The method further includes receiving a request for identifiers that are active in a particular time period, and based on the particular time period, retrieving active identifiers from the data stream, the delta, or the snapshot.
