  • Patent number: 11494407
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for executing queries on a database platform. A processing device may execute a first operator in a query plan to process a set of data and generate an intermediate result of a query. the intermediate result of the first operator may be pushed, during execution of the query plan, to a plurality of secondary operators as the intermediate result is generated. Each of the plurality of secondary operators may be initiated to concurrently process the intermediate result to generate a plurality of second results, and a timing of processing of the intermediate result by one or more of the plurality of secondary operators is adjusted to coordinate the generation of the plurality of second results. The processor may execute the final operation on the plurality of second results to generate a final result.

  • Patent number: 11429564
    Abstract: A file transfer system that includes a data source, a destination device, and a transfer server. The transfer server is configured to receive a file from the data source and determine a file size of the file. The transfer server is further configured to determine an available disk space for the destination device, to compare the available disk space to the file size of the file, and to determine that the available disk space is less than the file size of the file. In response to the determination, the transfer server is further configured to determine a file type for the file based on content within the file and to identify metadata linked with the determined file type. The transfer server is further configured to extract data from the file corresponding with the identified metadata and to send the data to the destination device.

  • Patent number: 11429615
    Abstract: The disclosed system links an individual dataset to a database. The system receives a target individual dataset associated with a target individual and identifies candidate individual datasets that are potentially related to the target individual dataset. The system identifies a related individual dataset that has data bits that match some data bits in the target individual dataset. The system then identifies a parent node that is a common parent node to both the target individual dataset and the related individual dataset. The system retrieves a data tree that the parent node belongs to with the data tree containing information describing inter-relationships among datasets in the data tree. A node in the data tree is identified to assign the target individual dataset based on strings of matched data bits and number of the matched strings between the target individual dataset and the datasets in the data tree.

  • Patent number: 11379539
    Abstract: The technology described herein builds an optimal refresh schedule by minimizing a cost function constrained by an available refresh bandwidth. The cost function receives an importance score for a content item and a change rate for the content item as input in order to optimize the schedule. The cost function is considered optimized when a refresh schedule is found that minimizes the cost while using the available bandwidth and no more. The technology can build an optimized schedule to refresh content with incomplete change data, content with complete change data, or a mixture of content with and without complete change data. It can also re-learn content item change rates from its own schedule execution history and re-compute the refresh schedule, ensuring that this schedule takes into account the latest trends in content item updates.

  • Patent number: 11347720
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments for a data transfer and resource management system. An embodiment operates by retrieving both data and a schema from a table. A first offset corresponding to the retrieved data indicating a retrieval time of the retrieved data and a number of records is identified. It is determined that the retrieved data corresponds to the schema. The data is stored on a messaging platform and made available to be pulled by one or more end users prior to a transfer to one or more cloud servers. A second offset corresponding to a number of records of the data retrieved by the one or more end users from the messaging platform is determined. It is validate that the second offset corresponds to the first offset. The records and the schema retrieved from the intermediary messaging platform are transferred to the one or more cloud servers.
