A method is disclosed. In the method, a data generation process can continuously generate data in real time. The data generation process can store the data into discrete data blocks. An analyzer process can run analytical queries on the data from the data blocks. After the analytics is complete for different data blocks, data can be removed from the respective data blocks. The empty data blocks can be returned back to the generation process for reuse. The data blocks can be shared resources between the generation and the analyzer processes. The data can be stored in a directly queryable format. Though at any given time a given analytical query can run on a single data block, the analyzer process can preserve certain important records from that data block to be used while analyzing subsequent data blocks at a later time.
