Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of offloading upload processing of a file in a distributed system. A request is received from a requestor to upload a file to a transactional database of a DBMS. Information regarding the requestor and/or the file is extracted from the request. A determination is made that the file is to be uploaded to a non-indexing file storage system in lieu of the transactional database based at least in part on the extracted information satisfying one or more criteria. A key that includes a hash is generated. The hash is created using attribute(s) of the requestor and/or the file from the extracted information. The key is provided to the requestor. The key and at least a portion of the file are received from the requestor. Uploading of the file to the non-indexing file storage system in lieu of the transactional database is initiated.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for handling notifications. A notification system monitors content (e.g., photograph) followed by a user for updates on a communication system. If the notification system identifies updates to content out of the monitored content, then the notification system applies the policy for delivering notifications concerning the content followed by the user that was updated. The notification system registers to receive information about updates to the content followed by the user as well as new events on the communication system. In response to identifying updates to content related to the content followed by the user that was updated from the received information, a summary concerning the updates to the content followed by the user and the related content is then generated. A notification is then delivered to the user containing the generated summary in a manner consistent with the policy.

Abstract: A content management system allows users to collaboratively edit, draft, or otherwise work with the same content item simultaneously by displaying a real-time data stream of a native application displaying a content item on a host device in a screen sharing window of a webpage. The screen sharing window is capable of receiving edit inputs and sending the edit inputs to a client application on the host device. The edit inputs are provided as interpretable code for the native application for the content item and the client application provides the interpretable code to the native application to have the changes corresponding to the edit inputs incorporated into the content item. Further, the cursors of other users participating in the collaborative editing session are displayed in the screen sharing window to allow each participant to view and follow the changes made by the other participants of the session.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for diagnosing workload performance problems in computer servers includes measuring resource metrics. The method further includes aggregating resource metrics for each consumed resource, and aggregating resource and non-resource activity metrics for each consumer. The method further includes generating condensed diagnostic data, on a synchronized, regular interval with one or more most significant consumed resource names and corresponding consumed resource metrics. Generating the condensed diagnostic data includes grouping consumers into buckets based on bucket and consumer attributes, aggregating resource and non-resource consumer activity metrics across all consumers in each bucket, and including one or more worst offending consumer names with corresponding resource and non-resource consumer activity metrics in each bucket. The condensed diagnostic data with the most significant consumed resources and bucket contents is recorded.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for configuring managed forwarding elements (MFEs) to handle data messages for multiple logical networks that are implemented in a data center at the MFEs and to provide gateway service processing (e.g., firewall, DNS, etc.). A controller, in some embodiments, identifies logical networks implemented in the datacenter and MFEs available to provide gateway service processing and assigns gateway service processing for each logical network to a particular MFE. The MFEs, in some embodiments, receive data messages from endpoints in the logical networks that are destined for an external network. In some embodiments, the MFEs identify that the data messages require gateway service processing before being sent to the external network. The MFEs, in some embodiments, identify a particular MFE that is assigned to provide the gateway service processing for logical networks associated with the data messages.

Abstract: A computer system for optimizing bandwidth usage by directly linking two remote devices requests, from a local network gateway, a network port assignment for a services management component within a local network. The system also receives, at the services management component, a network connection directed towards the assigned network port. The network connection is received at the assigned network port regardless of the associated network protocol. The system then identifies a hostname within a data packet received through the network connection. The system also identifies, within a services registry, one or more services registered to receive network connections associated with the identified network protocol. In addition, the system identifies from the one or more services a particular service that is associated with the hostname. The system then forwards the network connection to the particular service.
