Abstract
A multidimensional data aggregation and ingestion system includes a multidimensional data aggregation and ingestion computing device that ingests data received from one or more sources. During operation, data is received from one or more internal or external data sources. Next, received data is aggregated in accordance with aggregation rules. Next, delta information is determined by comparing received data to stored data in accordance with delta determination rules. Next, delta information is appended to the stored data. Data is ingested without deleting stored data. A stored multidimensional array data structure is updated based on received data without generating a new stored multidimensional array data structure. For example, a 'Process Add' method provided by SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is used to append delta information to a stored Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube. The novel system ingests significant quantities of data without needing to generate new OLAP cubes on each ingestion operation.
