While it looks like an inverted index, I'm not sure if the name of the algorithm is mentioned in the docs. For example, we know the index data structure in RDBMS is B-tree. What is Splunk index called?</P> Wed, 04 Nov 2015 01:48:16 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-Splunk-indexes-work/m-p/217547#M42818 kevinhylee 2015-11-04T01:48:16Z Re: How do Splunk indexes work? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-Splunk-indexes-work/m-p/217548#M42819 <P>Splunk developed their own proprietary method and structure.</P> Wed, 04 Nov 2015 14:11:40 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-Splunk-indexes-work/m-p/217548#M42819 lycollicott 2015-11-04T14:11:40Z Re: How do Splunk indexes work? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-Splunk-indexes-work/m-p/217549#M42820 <P>I see.
