Abstract: A resource dependency system may track data dependencies and data transformations for individual columns of the data sets over the span of the data pipeline (referred to as a provenance or lineage of a column). Column provenance/lineage can be logged using metadata or graph-like data structures, which the resource dependency system can generate, store, manage, and access. Column provenance/lineage can be used to generate user interfaces displaying visual node graphs with columns as nodes and the data dependencies and data transformations associated with the columns as edges between the nodes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving attribute data for a point of interest (POI) are provided. A networked system accesses trip data associated with the POI. The networked system generates, using a processor-implemented clustering algorithm, a first spatial cluster and a second spatial cluster using coordinates corresponding to the POI indicated in the trip data. A centroid for the first spatial cluster and a centroid for the second spatial cluster are identified by the networked system. The networked system determines that a difference in distance between the centroid for the first spatial cluster and the centroid for the second spatial cluster meets or transgresses a centroid distance threshold. In response to the determining, a database is updated to indicate a new attribute for the POI, the new attribute corresponds to an attribute associated with either the first spatial cluster or the second spatial cluster.

A summary report of the called variants, the associated functional annotations, and the associated interpretive annotations can be generated.

Abstract: A system that implements a data storage service may store data on behalf of storage service clients. The system may maintain data in multiple replicas of partitions that are stored on respective computing nodes in the system. A master replica for a replica group may increment a membership version indicator for the group, and may propagate metadata (including the membership version indicator) indicating a membership change for the group to other members of the group. Propagating the metadata may include sending a log record containing the metadata to the other replicas to be appended to their respective logs. Once the membership change becomes durable, it may be committed. A replica attempting to become the master of a replica group may determine that another replica in the group has observed a more recent membership version, in which case logs may be synchronized or snipped, or the attempt may be abandoned.

The program further determines a second set of address data based on the second set of geo-location coordinates.

Abstract: Methods and systems for improved query evaluation in computer systems are provided. A system receives a full text query for evaluation against a collection of XML documents. The query comprises specifies one or more tokens and one or more contexts. The contexts each represent a path within an XML expression. The query is used to make multiple determinations. First, determining, using token lists, first documents that contain the tokens included in the query. Second, determining, using tag lists, second documents that contain the contexts included in the query. Third, determining third documents by comparing the first documents and the second documents to determine which documents contain both the tokens and the contexts. The query is then evaluated in view of the third documents.

Abstract: This application is directed to quantitatively optimizing and simulating webpage search engine ranking, webpage traffic associated with a search engine, and user interactions with webpage content leading to conversions. For example, a search engine response model can determine how ranking factors of a webpage can affect a ranking of the webpage with respect to a keyword. A ranking factor response model can determine how attributes of a webpage affect the ranking factors. An addressable market can be determined for a webpage by determining keywords and key phrases associated with a webpage, as well as a volume of web traffic associated with the keywords and key phrases. As attributes of a webpage are adjusted, the operations herein can simulate an expected webpage ranking and traffic volume based on the adjusted attributes, and identify optimization factors leading to increased ranking, traffic, and conversions by level of influence for targeted webpages.

Abstract: A fair scheduling system with methodology for scheduling queries for execution by a database management system in a fair manner. The system obtains query jobs for execution by the database management system and cost estimates to execute the query jobs. Based on the cost estimates, the system causes the database management system to execute the query jobs as separate sub-query tasks in a round-robin fashion. By doing so, the execution latency of low cost query jobs that return few results is reduced when the query jobs are concurrently executed with high cost query jobs that return many results.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide virtual configuration systems and methods that overcome some or all of the downfalls of typical approaches by allowing for persistent configuration of an operating system of a host device. A virtual configuration layer may be incorporated into the file system of the host device and executed to modify configuration data stored outside of the file system, without changing the file system. Once the configuration data is modified, it may be used to configure the file system and/or the operating system of the host device when it is loaded by a client device. In some embodiments, the host device may be nonvolatile storage (e.g., a flash drive) embedded into a client device (e.g., a diskless system).

Abstract: Near clones for a set of targeted computing systems are provided by determining a highest common denominator set of components among the computing systems, producing a pseudo-clone configuration definition, and realizing one or more pseudo-clone computing systems as partially configured backups for the targeted computing systems. Upon a planned failover, actual failure, or quarantine action on a targeted computing system, a difference configuration is determined to complete the provisioning of the pseudo-clone system to serve as a replacement system for the failed or quarantined system. Failure predictions can be used to implement the pseudo-clone just prior to an expected first failure of any of the targeted systems. The system can also interface to an on-demand provisioning management system to effect automated workflows to realize pseudo-clones and replacement systems automatically, as needed.

Abstract: A method for traversing a node tree, having a root node and a hierarchy of child nodes, to a selected child node is described. A node identifier of the root node is determined by performing a hash function with at least a seed value for the node tree. Each child node of the hierarchy has a respective node identifier determined by performing the hash function with i) the seed value, ii) a node identifier of a parent node of the child node, and iii) a child index of the parent node. The selected child node's node identifier is determined by performing the hash function with i) the seed value, ii) the node identifier of the selected child node's parent node, and iii) the child index of the parent node for the selected child node. A retrieval of data stored at a location indicated by the node identifier of the selected child node is caused.
