Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code stored thereon for causing a computer system to perform a method for handling of an index update, the method comprising:
receiving time series data at an ingestion node of a time series data monitoring system, wherein the ingestion node is configured to process the time series data for persistence and indexing;
storing the time series data at a time series database of the time series data monitoring system;
determining an index update based on the time series data at the ingestion node;
storing the index update to an index database of the time series data monitoring system;
forwarding the index update to a plurality of query nodes of the time series data monitoring system, wherein each query node of the plurality of query nodes maintains a locally stored index structure and is configured to receive and process queries for searching the time series data using the locally stored index structure;, responsive to receiving the index update at the plurality of query nodes, updating the locally stored index structures of the plurality of query nodes with the index updatei
receiving a query at a query node of the plurality of query nodes; and
responsive to receiving a query at the query node, utilizing the locally stored index structure of the query node to identify a location of data point responsive to the query at the time series database.
