Abstract: A database image may be updated with incremental changes without replicating the production database. Each set of changes to the production database are stored in a differencing disk. Two or more identical chains of differencing disks are created. One chain is an active chain, and database clones may be served from the active chain for use by users. After reaching a predetermined length on an inactive chain, the differencing disks on the inactive chain are merged into a single merged differencing disk, and the inactive chain becomes an active chain, from which new database clones may be served to users. The chains may alternate between being inactive and active chains.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for managing an arbitrary set of storage items using a granset. For example, a storage controller may host a plurality of storage items and/or logical unit numbers (LUNs). A subset of the storage items are grouped into a consistency group. A granset is created for tracking, managing, and/or providing access to the storage items within the consistency group. For example, the granset comprises application programming interfaces (APIs) and/or properties used to provide certain levels of access to the storage items (e.g., read access, write access, no access), redirect operations to access either data of an active file system or to a snapshot, fence certain operations (e.g., rename and delete operations), and/or other properties that apply to each storage item within the consistency group. Thus, the granset provides a persistent on-disk layout used to manage an arbitrary set of storage items.

Abstract: A destination node receives metadata for a file, via replication, from a source node. If a legacy location in the metadata for the file does not include any new value for a legacy location in local metadata for the file, then the destination node stores the metadata to a local data structure. If the legacy location in the metadata includes any new value for the legacy location in the local metadata, and the new value is any new grouping tag, then the destination node extracts the new grouping tag from the legacy location in the metadata. The destination node constructs a key based on the legacy location in the metadata and uses the constructed key to search for an alternative location in the metadata for the file, for the new grouping tag. The destination node stores the new grouping tag in the alternative location in the metadata.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an intelligent failsafe engine. A computing platform may determine that a backup should be initiated that corresponds to a determined time window. The computing platform may select either a full backup method or a differential backup method. The computing platform may initiate the selected backup method, which may include backing up only blocks that have been modified since a previous backup. The computing platform may identify that the backup has paused at a particular data block. The computing platform may identify that the backup may be resumed, and may resume the backup at the particular data block. The computing platform may send data health information and commands directing a user device to display the data health information, which may cause the user device to display the data health information.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods to streamline the mechanism by which data users access differently regulated data through the use of one or more integrated identifiers. The integrated identifiers lessen or eliminate the need to separately maintain one set of identifiers for regulated data and another set for non-regulated data. The methods and systems may be applicable in various credit and healthcare contexts where regulations over data use are prevalent. In one or more embodiments, a data user receives a unique integrated identifier for each of the data user's current or prospective customers, and the integrated identifiers can be used to persistently identify and track the customers over time and across applications that access regulated and/or non-regulated data. In the healthcare context, a healthcare provider may utilize a patient ID as the integrated identifier. To protect privacy, the integrated identifier may not include social security numbers or birthdates.

Abstract: Aspects related to a resource-constrained system are described herein that can provide object storage services after a service interruption is resolved, even if all of the transactions that were pending and incomplete prior to the service interruption have not yet been recovered and/or executed. For example, file systems implemented by computing systems of the resource-constrained system may treat each file or directory as a separate object. Thus, a transaction directed to one file may not affect the file's directory or other files in the directory. As a result, the resource-constrained system can achieve read-after-write consistency without first recovering and executing the pending, incomplete transactions. Instead, read-after-write consistency for an object can be achieved simply by completing any pending, incomplete transaction directed to that object.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for performing integrity verification for data stored on computing systems are described. One technique involves receiving a request to retrieve data from a first data repository. One or more parameters of the request are determined. The data is obtained from the first repository, based on the parameters. Verification information for the data is obtained from a second data repository, based on the parameters. A determination is made as to whether the data obtained from the first data repository has been modified. A message is sent that indicates whether the data obtained from the first data repository has been modified.

Abstract: A user preference hierarchy is determined from user response to images. Images may be tagged using machine learning models trained to determine values for images. Products are clustered according to product vectors. Images of products within a cluster are clustered according to composition and groups of images are selected from image clusters for soliciting feedback regarding user preference for products of a cluster. Feedback is used to train a user preference model to estimate affinity for a product vector. A user may provide feedback regarding a price point and products are weighted according to a distribution about the price point. The distribution may be asymmetrical according to direction of movement of the price point. Filters may be dynamically defined and presented to a user based on popularity and frequency of occurrence of attribute-value pairs of search results and based on feedback regarding the search results.

Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligently pre-fetching data for input controls are disclosed. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods predict whether an input control is likely to be edited and only pre-fetches data for the input controls that have a high likelihood of being edited. This way, the presently disclosed systems and methods not only reduce latency in displaying recommended data results for input controls that are likely to be edited but also reduces the number of calls made to the backend server to retrieve the data as the data is not retrieved for all rendered input controls, but only the ones that are likely to be edited.

Abstract: Generating a composite screenshot including contextually relevant screenshots and displayed information.
