1. A system comprising:
a storage device; and
a processor to execute processor-executable program code stored on the storage device to cause the system to:
identify a plurality of configurations, each of the plurality of configurations specifying a column of one of a plurality of data sources, where a first column specified by a first configuration is different from a second column specified by a second configuration;
for each configuration, acquire a sequence of values stored in consecutive rows of the column specified by the configuration;
store each acquired sequence of values in the storage device in association with an identifier of the data source and an identifier of the column from which the sequence was acquired;
receive a search request including a target sequence of values; and
in response to the search request:
identify one of the stored sequences of values as matching the target sequence; and
return the identified one of the stored sequences of values and the associated identifier of the data source and identifier of the column from which the identified one of the stored sequences of values was acquired.
