Generating And Using Temporal Metadata Partitions

摘要

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for generating and using temporal metadata partitions. Metadata can be stored in temporal metadata partitions based upon a time range included in the metadata. Furthermore, metadata can be stored in multiple temporal metadata partitions to which the metadata is relevant. As such, metadata can be stored in manner that allows event data to be understood in the context of temporally accurate and/or relevant metadata. Functionality for executing queries of event data and providing results in view of metadata, as well as the merging of multiple temporal metadata partitions also are disclosed.

1. A method comprising:
obtaining metadata at a server computer executing a data management application, the metadata comprising a data value and a time range associated with the data value; analyzing, by the server computer, the time range to identify a temporal metadata partition in which the metadata is to be stored; and storing, by the server computer, the metadata in the temporal metadata partition.
