Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for performing searches of event records by leveraging reference values in an inverted index. A method of searching comprises accessing a query associated with a first set of event records in a field searchable data store, each event record comprising a time-stamped portion of raw machine data. The method further comprises evaluating the query and generating results for the query by accessing an inverted index, wherein each entry in the inverted index comprises at least one field, a corresponding at least one field value and a reference value that identifies a location in the field searchable data store where an associated event record is stored. The method further comprises performing a search to filter out a second set of event records and retrieving the second set of event records from the field searchable data store using reference values in the inverted index.

Abstract: This application relates to a technique that enables efficient indexing and querying of a set of documents stored at a computing device. The technique assigns a rank to each term of a set of terms based on a historical occurrence of each term to produce a set of ranked terms. The technique also creates subsets that include terms from the set of ranked terms to produce ranked term subsets that are encoded in accordance with an allocated bit size. The technique generates an index for each document of the set of documents through: (1) the identification of the ranked term subsets within the document, (2) the generation of arrays to store each ranked term subset identified within the document, and (3) the embedding of metadata within the document. The metadata includes: (i) one or more arrays and (ii) one or more counts corresponding to each array.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining available remote storages in a network to use to replicate a file based on a geographical requirement with respect the file. A determination is made as whether available remote storages satisfy constraints associated with a document class of the file. The constraints include a geographical location at which to replicate the file and a minimum number of replications to create for the file. At least one remote storage of the available remote storages is selected that satisfies the constraints to store at least one copy of the file. The file is replicated to the selected at least one remote storage.

The system is configured to access the data, validate the data to determine if the data is validly generated by the medical procedure, determine that the data contains at least one flaw or error, and improve data integrity by preventing the at least one flaw or error from being integrated into a larger dataset associated with the at least one remote server.

Abstract: The invention discloses a retrieval method and device for judgment documents and relates to the technical field of data retrieval, mainly aiming to mark existing judgment documents with information codes and perform vertical and horizontal retrieval according to the association relation among the information codes during retrieval so as to provide more comprehensive retrieval results.

Abstract: A computer system compares databases, where each data record includes values for a plurality of fields, by applying database operations on database tables of the data records to reduce computations being performed. For each data record in a reference set, candidate matches are identified from among the data records in a target set by performing a join operation on the sets on one or more selected, normalized fields from the sets. This significantly reduced set of candidate matches can be further analyzed to determine how similar they are to the data record from the reference set.

Abstract: Design analysis for framework assessment is described. In one or more example embodiments, a file including a designed image is obtained from a storage device, and a guide structure is extracted from the file. The guide structure, for instance, includes multiple guide lines, and the guide lines are analyzed to determine column-related data, such as at least relative widths or positional orders, a total number of columns, groups of column widths, a combination thereof, and so forth. From multiple frameworks, a framework is ascertained that substantially matches the guide structure based at least partially on a comparison of column-related data to each framework of the multiple frameworks. Ascertainment of a framework, for example, is indicated to an end-user. The ascertained framework is applicable to facilitate development of a coded functional version of at least a visual design of the image.
