  • Patent number: 11971891
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing usage of computational resources when accessing siloed data across disparate locations via a unified metadata graph are disclosed. The system receives a user-specified query indicating a request to access a set of data objects. The system then performs natural language processing on the user-specified query to determine a set of phrases corresponding to the user-specified query. The system then accesses a metadata graph to determine a node corresponding to the set of phrases. Using a location identifier corresponding to the determined node, the system determines a data silo storing at least one data object of the set of data objects. The system then generates for display, on a graphical user interface, a visual representation of the at least one data object.

  • Patent number: 11960453
    Abstract: Asynchronous snapshot invalidation techniques are described. According to various such techniques, an enhanced file handle structure may be defined that includes a snapshot generation ID that is to comprise a value that singularly identifies a snapshot performed at a particular point in time. In some embodiments, when a snapshot ID assigned to that snapshot is reused at a subsequent point in time, a different snapshot generation ID may be assigned to that subsequent snapshot. With respect to an in-core cache, the differing snapshot generation IDs may eliminate unacceptable ambiguity regarding respective file information sets corresponding to the initial and subsequent snapshots sharing the same snapshot ID. As a result, obsolete file information sets may be cleared from the in-core cache asynchronously, enabling improved performance. The embodiments are not limited in this context.

  • Patent number: 11954533
    Abstract: Detecting a trend in latency for storage underlying a deduplicated file system includes generating a set of data points by recording when input/output (IO) requests were issued to the storage and recording time required to receive success responses from the storage. Least squares regression is performed on the data points to find a best-fit line through the data points. A slope of the best-fit line is calculated. A determination is made as to whether the slope is positive, a positive slope thereby indicating a trend of increasing latency of the storage. When the slope is determined to be positive, clients accessing the deduplicated file system are throttled.

  • Patent number: 11934393
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for validating input requests. In an embodiment, an application program interface (API) can receive a input request from a client device or server. The API can validate the input requests based on client-side or server-side technology implemented by the client device or server. In response to validating a input request from the client device and server, the database's framework can validate the database request before processing the input request. In response to failing to validate an input request at the client device, server, or database level, a machine-learning algorithm can be used to determine how to resolve a possible error, which may have caused the failure to validate the input request.

  • Patent number: 11907964
    Abstract: A specially programmed machine and method generates propensity information based on inputs received from machines connected as part of an Internet of Things (IoT) environment, where the machine appends a predictive segmentation attribute to each data input received and generates a matrix based on the counts of each attribute-input combination. The attribute-input counts for each combination are converted to a statistical metric that represents propensity information for consumers fitting into the segment associated with the particular attribute. The propensity information can be relayed to a client in a variety of ways, including a direct display of the propensity information, appendage of the propensity information to the clients database, or using the information to provide an audience report to the client.

  • Patent number: 11899684
    Abstract: A system that implements a data storage service may store data on behalf of clients in multiple replicas on respective computing nodes. The system may employ an external service to select a master replica for a replica group. The master replica may service consistent read operations and/or write operations that are directed to the replica group (or to a data partition stored by the replica group). The master replica may employ a quorum based mechanism for performing replicated write operations, and a local lease mechanism for determining the replica authorized to perform consistent reads, even when the external service is unavailable. The master replica may propagate local leases to replica group members as replicated writes. If another replica assumes mastership for the replica group, it may not begin servicing consistent read operations that are directed to the replica group until the lease period for a current local lease expires.
