Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a data intake and query system, a query identifying a set of data to be processed and a manner of processing the set of data;
identifying a plurality of buckets containing data that satisfies at least a portion of the query, wherein the plurality of buckets are stored in a remote shared storage system that is remote from a plurality of search nodes, wherein the remote shared storage system is communicatively coupled with the plurality of search nodes;
identifying, by the data intake and query system, at least two search nodes of the plurality of search nodes to obtain the plurality of buckets from the remote shared storage system and process the plurality of buckets based on query commands of the query;
responsive to receiving the query and identifying the at least two search nodes, dynamically mapping the plurality of buckets to the at least two search nodes, wherein each search node of the at least two search nodes is dynamically mapped to a respective set of buckets of the plurality of buckets, wherein a particular bucket of the plurality of buckets is mapped to a particular search node of the at least two search nodes based on a determination that the particular search node was previously assigned to search the particular bucket as part of a previous query; and
executing the query, wherein during execution of the query, each search node of the at least two search nodes retrieves the respective set of buckets from the remote shared storage system and processes the respective set of buckets based on at least one query command of the query.
