Abstract: Techniques are described herein for early pruning of potential graph query results. Specifically, based on determining that property values of a path through graph data cannot affect results of a query, the path is pruned from a set of potential query solutions prior to fully exploring the path. Early solution pruning is performed on prunable queries that project prunable functions including MIN, MAX, SUM, and DISTINCT, the results of which are not tied to a number of paths explored for query execution. A database system implements early solution pruning for a prunable query based on intermediate results maintained for the query during query execution. Specifically, when a system determines that property values of a given potential solution path cannot affect the query results reflected in intermediate results maintained for the query, the path is discarded from the set of possible query solutions without further exploration of the path.

A storage unit for a storage system is also provided.

Abstract: A data gathering and query method for collecting ongoing updates to large, unstructured databases performing data collection from multiple sites. A large repository of unstructured or semi-structured data according to a JSON syntax receives periodic updates from an enterprise site for gathered event data. A bigdata cloud store receives the additions as columnar parts that arrange the data in a columnar form for storing similarly named fields consecutively. The enterprise site generating the event data arranges the block files containing the columnar data, and header files containing metadata. Incremental time and/or size triggers the periodic part upload, and a query server in network communication with the cloud store integrates the incoming additions by receiving the header files and updating a catalog of collections in the cloud store, without downloading the larger block files containing the actual columnar data. Query requests operate on the cloud store without moving the block files.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for processing data blocks of a data table. The data blocks comprise an attribute representing multidimensional spatial data objects, where the attribute has multiple values representing respective dimensions of the multidimensional spatial data object. The method comprises creating for each data block of the data blocks, a respective attribute metadata. The attribute metadata comprises attribute value information defining a multidimensional minimum bounding rectangle that covers attribute values of the attribute comprised in the data block. A query is processed on the multidimensional spatial data objects associated with a query area using the multidimensional minimum bounding rectangle to check whether a data block of the data blocks contains attribute values of the attribute in the query area.

Abstract: A method for achieving eventually-consistent data replication in a technology agnostic manner. The method can be implemented via execution of computing instructions configured to run at one or more processors and stored at one or more non-transitory computer-readable media. The method can include receiving, by a system comprising the one or more processors and the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, a write request for an object. The write request can be received from a user device or an application server. The method further can include performing a write operation for the object, by the system, after the write request is received. Performing the write operation can comprise: (a) adding an intent record to a tracker table, the intent record comprising a primary key uniquely associated with the object and a version associated with the object; and (b) updating the object, the object including the primary key and the version, in a primary data store, after the intent record is added.

Abstract: A system and method for determining content relevancy within a computer network and generating a database. Content including but not limited to, a document, media, or any other digital or real objects. The method includes: identifying and creating an index of users on the network and identifying expert users through the use of profile generation. The profiles are monitored and updated, as well as connected with others to generate value indicators assigned to content articles within the network. The content is then ranked based on the indicator value, with the values being fluidic and based upon the ongoing actions of users on the network. Searches of the system are further coordinated by adaptive, context aware protocols whereby content is filtered or included based on given intricate associations with other content and users themselves.
