The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Provisioning timestamp-based storage units for time series data is described. A time series database system determines a remaining time period for a first storage unit to reach a storage capacity, the first storage unit storing first data with a first minimum timestamp. The time series database system provisions a second storage unit if the remaining time period for the first storage unit satisfies the provisioning threshold and stores second data with a second minimum timestamp to the second storage unit. The time series database system dispatches a query for third time series data to any storage unit if a time span from a minimum timestamp to a maximum timestamp associated with the storage unit includes at least part of a time range associated with the third time series data. The time series database system responds to the query for the third time series data based on dispatching the query.”

The patent application was filed on April 28, 2016 (15/141,323).
