Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure, a data intake and query system (DIQS) performs a query on event data to return a result data set. A client device receives an input that includes one or more text strings and expands the received input into a multi-field search query, which is transmitted to the DIQS. The DIQS then parses the result data set by performing the multi-field search query on the result data set to return at least one event that includes one or more fields that have one or more values that correspond to the one or more text strings. The at least one event may then be caused to be displayed by the client device through a graphical user interface.

Abstract: An experience rating and skill discovery system (ERSDS) and a method for determining credibility of experience ratings provided by one or more reviewers and discovering skills of opportunity seekers based on a relationship between the reviewers and the opportunity seekers are provided. A skill profile module of the ERSDS reads profile data from a user profile list and generates a skills profile list. An invitation module transmits invitations to reviewer devices for providing the experience ratings.

Abstract: A process and system are directed to generating a medium without user involvement. A user makes a series of increasingly granular selections to specify the type of medium to be built, such as a webpage. A search engine conducts a search of networking resources to identify and collect content items that have a relationship to the user and that are relevant to the webpage selections made by the user. The content collection is performed automatically without any user involvement, beyond the user's initial webpage selections. The webpage is then constructed, using the collected content items to populate the components of the webpage. The webpage is customized to the user because its contents are developed based upon a search that reflects the targeting and collection of content items that are both related to the user and relevant to the user's webpage definition.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a data server generates an open data reference specifying a location for storing report data associated with a report. To generate the report data, the data server generates a data query based on a report definition that describes how the report data associated with the report is generated. The data server executes the data query on source data to obtain the report data and causes the report data to be stored on a storage device at the location specified by the open data reference. The report data can be retrieved via a network using the open data reference for integration within a third-party application. The data server further generates updated report data by executing, on the source data, an updated data query generated based on the report definition and has the report data stored on the storage device to be replaced with updated report data.

Abstract: Methods and systems relating to a file distribution scheme in a computer network are disclosed that distributes files in an efficient manner that reduces, among other things, network traffic. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for updating a file is disclosed. In such a method, unique chunks in a first version of a digital file are identified. For a second version of the digital file, chunks that are the same as in the first version are identified. Recompilation information is generated and stored for these identified chunks. Also, for the second version of the digital file, chunks in the second version that are different from chunks in the first version are identified. Recompilation information is generated and stored for these identified chunks. With this information, the second version of the digital file is completely defined and can be efficiently stored.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for freeing and utilizing unused inodes. For example, an operation, targeting a first storage object of a first node having a replication relationship with a second storage object of a second node, is intercepted. A replication operation is created as a replication of the operation. The operation is implemented upon the first storage object and the replication operation is implemented upon the second storage object. A determination is made that the replication operation uses an inode no longer used by storage objects of the second node. The inode targeted by the replication operation is freed and utilized based upon the inode being a leaf inode. If the inode is a stream directory inode, then data streams of the stream directory inode are moved under a new private inode and the stream directory inode is released.

Abstract: Systems and processes for backing up data files and recovering data files are described. A computing device connected to a network may backup data files for one or more additional computing devices connected to the network. In some cases, the computing devices connected to the network may be ranked according to a fitness of each respective computing device to backup data files. Additionally, data files of computing devices connected to a network may be prioritized to indicate a level of relative importance to backup each respective data file. Based on the rankings of the computing devices and the prioritization of the data files, particular data files may be associated with a corresponding computing device that is designated to store backup copies of the data files.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for classifying and labeling information content and also for profiling a user for accessing the information content, both using a coordinated labeling technique so that content from multiple sources may be searched, identified and/or presented to the user according to the user's profile. This technique provides an ongoing update of information content and sources while filtering out unnecessary information that is irrelevant to the user's profile, resulting in focused availability of information to the user. The user profile is matched with content of interest and matching content information may automatically be updated and made available to a user, in conformity with the user's profile. Content providers may now jointly use a common labeling scheme to improve the experience of their users and to provide content providers a technique to associate users with common facets of classification.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for integrating a legacy static data storage system with an event based data storage system. Catch-up logic generates, for pre-existing legacy data in the legacy static data storage system, catch-up events for integrating the legacy data in the event based data storage system. A trigger processor generates, at approximately a same time that the catch-up events are generated, triggered events in response to one or more database triggers of the event based data storage system being activated. Both the catch-up events and the one or more triggered events are stored in an event log data structure. An event log monitor processes the catch-up events in the event log data structure to integrate the pre-existing legacy data into the event based data storage system. The event log monitor processes the one or more triggered events after all catch-up events in the event log data structure have been processed.

Abstract: A repository of key-value data may store a first object value having an internal structure of a hierarchy of sub-objects. The repository may receive a request to modify the first object, expressed as a function, without side effects, of one or more parameters. Values may be assigned to the one or more parameters by mapping from the parameters to locations in the hierarchy of sub-objects. A second object may be formed based on the return value of the function. The first object may be replaced in the repository by the second object.
