Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 4:
5. A method, comprising:
storing, into one or more storage tiers of a time-series database, a plurality of discrete data points of a time series, wherein the plurality of discrete data points comprises a plurality of discrete measurements at respective timestamps; and
executing, by one or more processors of the time-series database, a request, received from a client external to the time-series database, to analyze the time series, wherein the request comprises a computing operation to be evaluated using, as input, a continuous function of the time-series to represent the time series at every point in time over a time range specified in the request, and wherein the executing comprises:
generating the continuous function of the time-series database, comprising:
loading a portion of the stored plurality of discrete data points in the indicated time range; and
applying, by the one or more processors, a regression to the loaded portion of the stored plurality of discrete data points according to one or more conversion parameters specified in the request to generate the continuous function of the time series, wherein the continuous function is generated based at least in part on the discrete measurements at respective timestamps within the loaded portion of the stored plurality of discrete data points in the indicated time range; and

performing the computing operation of the request using the continuous function as an input; and
returning to the client a result based at least in part on an output of the performing of the computing operation.
