REAL-TIME MINING AND REDUCTION OF STREAMED DATA
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
a memory coupled to the at least one processor; and
a stream data node residing in the memory that receives streamed data from at least one data source, dynamically reduces the streamed data using a filter mechanism that specifies data to exclude from the streamed data according to at least one filter criterion as the streamed data is received before storing the streamed data in a database, and delivers the reduced streamed data when an external request is received.

Abstract
A stream data node receives real-time streamed data from one or more input devices, dynamically filters the streamed data to reduce the streamed data, and delivers the reduced data when requested. By providing real-time filtering of the data, the amount of data that must be stored in a database may be substantially reduced. The stream data node can perform aggregation functions, group functions, and select functions, thereby also significantly reducing the amount of data that must be stored in a database. The stream data node may also be part of a query execution data structure, where it delivers its data when requested by another node in the query execution data structure.
