Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A method of retrieving and adding data related to a railroad system database, comprising:
reading and parsing operations from a configuration file, wherein the read and parsed operations include an operation to add data to a data object;
determining whether required file systems are accessible;
initializing variables used in execution of adding data to a database with a plurality of partitions, tables, clusters, or jobs in response to a determination that the required file systems are accessible;
collecting metric data about cluster members of the database;
determining, via a processor, the number of partitions, tables, and jobs scheduled to be run and created;
generating, via the processor, data structures based on key pattern groups defined for each partition, wherein the key pattern groups are used to identify which group each partition key belongs, wherein generating the data structures based on the key pattern groups includes generating the data structures when each key pattern group in the key pattern groups is determined to be valid and foreclosing generating the data structures when at least one key pattern group in the key pattern groups is determined to be invalid; and
generating executable statements to add partitions to a table.
