Recovering data from a shared storage system

A first computing device of a data intake and query system, the first computing device comprising:

• memory;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to:
• determine that a second computing device of a distributed data processing system is not available prior to determining that the second computing device processed a first set of data that the second computing device is assigned to process;
• assign a third computing device of the distributed data processing system to process the first set of data based at least in part on determining that the second computing device is not available;
• assign the third computing device to process a second set of data;
• and
• provide the third computing device with location information of the first set of data based at least in part on assigning the third computing device to process the first set of data, the location information indicating a location in a shared storage system at which the first set of data is stored by the second computing device, wherein the third computing device is configured to obtain the first set of data from the location in the shared storage system based at least in part on the location information and process the first set of data and the second set of data to provide results.

Non-transitory computer readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a first computing device of a data intake and query system, cause the first computing device to:

• determine that a second computing device of a distributed data processing system is not available prior to determining that the second computing device processed a first set of data that the second computing device is assigned to process;
• assign a third computing device of the distributed data processing system to process the first set of data based at least in part on determining that the second computing device is not available;
• assign the third computing device to process a second set of data;
• and
• provide the third computing device with location information of the first set of data based at least in part on assigning the third computing device to process the first set of data, the location information indicating a location in a shared storage system at which the first set of data is stored by the second computing device, wherein the third computing device is configured to obtain the first set of data from the location in the shared storage system based at least in part on the location information and process the first set of data and the second set of data to provide results.
