Agent-based data pre-processing and data indexing for efficient data retrieval

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor circuit;
• and
• at least one memory that stores program code configured to be executed by the at least one processor circuit, the program code comprising:
• an index generator configured to:
• receive, from a first data source, first data and a plurality of first index nodes that are generated by the first data source, each index node of the plurality of first index nodes comprising a plurality of first search keys corresponding to the first data;
• receive, from a second data source, second data and a plurality of second index nodes that are generated by the second data source, each index node of the plurality of second index nodes comprising a plurality of second search keys corresponding to the second data;
• and
• combine the plurality of first index nodes and the plurality of second index nodes with an index structure maintained by the system.

A computer-readable storage medium having program instructions recorded thereon that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a first data source, first data and a plurality of first index nodes that are generated by the first data source, each index node of the plurality of first index nodes comprising a plurality of first search keys corresponding to the first data;
• receiving, from a second data source, second data and a plurality of second index nodes that are generated by the second data source, each index node of the plurality of second index nodes comprising a plurality of second search keys corresponding to the second data;
• and
• combining the plurality of first index nodes and the plurality of second index nodes with an index structure maintained by the computing device.
