  • Patent number: 11256711
    Abstract: A workflow executed by an on-premise installation of the content management system can include a cloud workflow and an on-premise workflow relating to on-premise content retained in an on-premise repository managed by the on-premise installation of the content management system. A synchronization can be initiated between the on-premise content and a cloud copy of the on-premise content to reflect a change to either of the on-premise content or the cloud copy in the other of the on-premise content and the cloud copy. The cloud copy can exist at a location managed by a cloud-based installation of the content management system. Upon detection that the cloud workflow has been completed by the location using the cloud copy, a resumption of the on-premise workflow can be triggered using the synchronization between the on-premise content and the cloud copy of the on-premise content. Related systems, methods, products, etc. are described.

  • Patent number: 11256719
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for ingestion partition auto-scaling in a time-series database are disclosed. A first set of one or more hosts divides elements of time-series data into a plurality of partitions. A second set of one or more hosts stores the elements of time-series data from the plurality of partitions into one or more storage tiers of a time-series database. An analyzer receives first data indicative of the resource usage of the time-series data at the first set of one or more hosts. The analyzer receives second data indicative of the resource usage of the time-series data at the second set of one or more hosts. Based at least in part on analysis of the first data and the second data, the analyzer initiates a split of an individual one of the partitions into two or more partitions.

  • Patent number: 11238113
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for updating a machine learning model utilized in a search engine operation. The method identifies a set of search queries in stored search queries corresponding to a service and apply the identified set of search queries to the search engine to generate one or more search results for the service. Each search result has an assigned aggregate based on values of a set of parameters associated with the service. The method then analyzes the values of the set of parameters to determine a tradeoff point of each parameter to determine one or more weights to apply to the machine learning model based on the tradeoff points. The method stores the determined one or more weights and applies them to the machine learning model for a search query corresponding to the service.

  • Patent number: 11232160
    Abstract: A data management services architecture includes architectural components that run in both a storage and compute domains. The architectural components redirect storage requests from the storage domain to the compute domain, manage resources allocated from the compute domain, ensure compliance with a policy that governs resource consumption, deploy program code for data management services, dispatch service requests to deployed services, and monitor deployed services. The architectural components also include a service map to locate program code for data management services, and service instance information for monitoring deployed services and dispatching requests to deployed services. Since deployed services can be stateless or stateful, the services architecture also includes state data for the stateful services, with supporting resources that can expand or contract based on policy and/or service demand. The architectural components also include containers for the deployed services.

  • Patent number: 11232089
    Abstract: A multi-master replication system is disclosed. The multi-master replication system allows a large set of peer instances to collaboratively replicate data to each other. According to an example, a change detection thread running on a first server associated with a first instance of multiple instances of a replicated database monitors for changes to any of multiple records within one or more shared tables of the replicated database. Responsive to detection of a change to a record, an item is stored by the change detection thread onto a queue containing information regarding the change. Groups of changes are packaged into multiple chunks, in which each chunk (i) corresponds to a discrete unit of progress for both change detection and transport; (ii) is associated with multiple changed records; (iii) contains metadata about the multiple changed records; and (iv) does not contain data from the one or more shared tables.

  • Patent number: 11232128
    Abstract: A first storage system is configured to participate in a replication process with a second storage system using an active-active configuration. A request for a time-to-live (TTL) grant is received in the first storage system from the second storage system. A TTL projection time maintained in the first storage system is updated as a function of a current value of the TTL projection time, a local time in the first storage system and a TTL grant value. The TTL grant with the TTL grant value is sent from the first storage system to the second storage system in response to the request. The TTL projection time maintained in the first storage system is utilized in conjunction with revocation of the TTL grant to the second storage system. The TTL projection time illustratively specifies a time after which it is guaranteed that the TTL grant sent by the first storage system to the second storage system will have expired in accordance with a TTL expiration time maintained in the second storage system.

  • Patent number: 11226945
    Abstract: A knowledge model “overlay” for organizing and analyzing large, dynamic data volumes is implemented as a hypergraph that manifests as a result of a distributed theory-driven data source transformation process. This process maps exponentially growing data into an asymptotically limited information space. Within this space, real-world entities (e.g. people, computers, cities, Earth) and their complex interdependencies (e.g. social networks, connectivity, causal relationships) are represented as attributed hypergraph elements (i.e. both hypervertices and hyperedges). Attributes are represented as state vectors affixed to any hypergraph element. Transformation of source system data into this overlay structure is accomplished with minimal data movement and replication using a universal “pointer” like mechanism that is managed in a decentralized fashion by the respective transformation components.
