Virtual data objects

A system comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processing device and storing instructions that, when executed by the processing device, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a streaming data object in a streaming data format;
• receiving a request to access the streaming data object in a database format;
• based on a receipt of the request to access the streaming data object in the database format, processing the streaming data object to generate a virtual data object, the virtual data object comprising a representation of the streaming data object in the database format;
• receiving a command with respect to the streaming data object as represented in the virtual data object from an application configured with respect to the database format;
• and
• using the virtual data object, executing the command, as received from the application configured with respect to the database format, with respect to the streaming data object.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receive a streaming data object in a streaming data format;
• receiving a request to access a first chronological interval of the streaming data object;
• based on a receipt of the request to access the first chronological interval of the streaming data object, processing the streaming data object to generate a virtual data object, the virtual data object comprising a representation of the first chronological interval of the streaming data object in the second data format;
• receiving a command with respect to the streaming data object as represented in the virtual data object from an application configured with respect to the second data format;
• and
• using the virtual data object, executing the command, as received from the application configured with respect to the second data format, with respect to the streaming data object.
