System and method for reading and writing to big data storage formats
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a request at a single, centralized access point created by an access interface for access to a first variable in a single logical data structure as viewed from an application side, wherein the request comprises a requested action and a variable identifier for the first variable, wherein the request has a first syntax, wherein a first data storage format is incompatible with the first syntax;
parsing, by the processor, the request to capture the variable identifier from the request;
looking up, by the processor, the first variable in a catalog using the variable identifier, wherein the first variable includes a location of the first variable and the first data storage format that maintains the first variable and the variable identifier within the first data storage format;
generating, by the processor, a query to access the first variable, wherein the query comprises a second syntax compatible with the first data storage format; and
submitting, by the processor, the query to access the first data storage format, wherein the query is configured to complete the requested action.

Abstract
A system may receive a request for access to a first variable. The request may include a requested action and a variable identifier for the first variable. The request may also have a syntax that is incompatible with first data storage format. The system may parse the request to capture the variable identifier from the request. The system may also look up a location of the first variable in a catalog using the variable identifier. The location of the first variable may include the first data storage format. The system may generate a query to access the first variable. The syntax of the query may be compatible with the first data storage format. The system may then submit the query to the first data storage format. The query may be configured to complete the requested action.

10. A computer-based system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause an access interface system to perform operations comprising; receiving, by the processor, a request at a single, centralized access point created by an access interface for access to a first variable in a single logical data structure as viewed from an application side, wherein the request comprises a requested action and a variable identifier for the first variable, wherein the request has a first syntax, wherein a first data storage format is incompatible with the first syntax; parsing, by the processor, the request to capture the variable identifier from the request; looking up, by the processor, the first variable in a catalog using the variable identifier, wherein the first variable includes a location of the first variable and the first data storage format that maintains the first variable and the variable identifier within the first data storage format; generating, by the processor, a query to access the first variable, wherein the query comprises a second syntax compatible with the first data storage format; and submitting, by the processor, the query to access the first data storage format, wherein the query is configured to complete the requested action. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, by the processor, a request at a single, centralized access point created by an access interface for access to a first variable in a single logical data structure as viewed from an application side, wherein the request comprises a requested action and a variable identifier for the first variable, wherein the request has a first syntax, wherein a first data storage format is incompatible with the first syntax; parsing, by the processor, the request to capture the variable identifier from the request; looking up, by the processor, the first variable in a catalog using the variable identifier, wherein the first variable includes a location of the first variable and the first data storage format that maintains the first variable and the variable identifier within the first data storage format; generating, by the processor, a query to access the first variable, wherein the query comprises a second syntax compatible with the first data storage format; and submitting, by the processor, the query to access the first data storage format, wherein the query is configured to complete the requested action. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
