In some examples, a method may include receiving a continuous query, the continuous query being identified based at least in part on an archived relation associated with an application. The method may also include generating a physical query plan for the continuous query. In some examples, the method may also include identifying a query operator in the physical query plan and/or constructing an archiver query for the identified query operator. In some aspects, the method may also include executing the archiver query to obtain a result set of data records related to the application and/or initializing a state of the query operator based at least in part on the result set of data records. Further, the method may also include generating a snapshot output of one or more data values related to the application based at least in part on the state of the identified query operator.
