Tracking Previous Search Queries and Reusing Search Results Based on a Query Execution Plan

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing instructions that are operable when executed by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a request to search a dataset of an observability analysis system, the request including a search query;
• generating a hash that represents the request, wherein generating the hash that represents the request includes applying a hash function to:
• a query execution plan determined from the search query;
• and
• at least one parameter corresponding to the request;
• determining whether the request satisfies a set of one or more query reuse criteria, wherein the set of one or more query reuse criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the hash matches a previous hash associated with a previous request to search the dataset of the observability analysis system, wherein the previous request was received prior to the request;
• and
• in accordance with determining that the set of one or more query reuse criteria is satisfied by the request, reusing a set of query results of the previous request to search the dataset of the observability analysis system.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that are operable when executed by a data-processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a request to search a dataset of an observability analysis system, the request including a search query;
• generating a hash that represents the request, wherein generating the hash that represents the request includes applying a hash function to:
• a query execution plan determined from the search query;
• and
• at least one parameter corresponding to the request;
• determining whether the request satisfies a set of one or more query reuse criteria, wherein the set of one or more query reuse criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the hash matches a previous hash associated with a previous request to search the dataset of the observability analysis system, wherein the previous request was received prior to the request;
• and
• in accordance with determining that the set of one or more query reuse criteria is satisfied by the request, reusing a set of query results of the previous request to search the dataset of the observability analysis system.
