Abstract: A system that implements a data storage service may store data for database tables in multiple replicated partitions on respective storage nodes. In response to a request to restore a given table that was backed up in a remote storage system (e.g., key-value durable storage system), the service may create a new table, and may import a copy of each of the partitions of the given table from the remote storage system into the new table. The request to restore the table may specify a modified value for a configuration parameter for the table or for one of its partitions. The service may apply the new configuration parameter value to the table or its partitions during the restore operation. The new configuration parameter value may indicate an increase or decrease in storage capacity or throughput capacity, and its application may automatically trigger a partition split or move operation.

Abstract: A database executes logical queries against in-flight data in a data streaming application. The data streaming application returns results representing in-flight data matching the parameters of the logical queries. Preferably, the streaming application produces data tuples for input to at least one table of the database. A user submitting queries may define the query scope to include in-flight data in the streaming application, causing the database manager to forward the query to the streaming application. A streaming application manager invokes database agents in respective nodes of the streaming application, which query in-flight data in respective buffers of the streaming application. The responses are provided back to the stream manager and the database manager. Profiling data obtained by trace analysis may be used to predict tuples which will be produced for the database.

Abstract: A method is presented for using a distributed source control system with a centralized source control system. A first set of files is obtained from a source control repository and stored on a first electronic computing device. The first set of files comprises all or part of a code base in the centralized source control system. A request is received for at least part of the code base from a second electronic computing device in a distributed source control system. As a result of the request, at least a part of the first set of files is sent to the second electronic computing device. A change set for the first set of files is received from the second electronic computing device. The change set is processed to be in a format compatible with the source control repository. The change set is submitted to the source control repository.

Abstract: Techniques are described for employing a crowdsourcing framework to analyze data related to the performance or operations of computing systems, or to analyze other types of data. A question is analyzed to determine data that is relevant to the question. The relevant data may be decontextualized to remove or alter contextual information included in the data, such as sensitive, personal, or business-related data. The question and the decontextualized data may then be presented to workers in a crowdsourcing framework, and the workers may determine an answer to the question based on an analysis or an examination of the decontextualized data. The answers may be combined, correlated, or otherwise processed to determine a processed answer to the question.

Abstract: Methods and systems of archiving media files are provided. Media files may be archived such that only the difference between a media file and a base media file is stored. The base media file is archived. The media file to be archived and the base media file may have common attributes such as video codec, resolution, frame rate, and/or color space. A media file to be archived may be compared to the base media file to determine any difference. Bit-to-bit analysis or frame-to-frame analysis may be performed to identify the differences between a media file to be archived and a base media file. The differences may be extracted from the media file to be archived. A difference media file may be created to store the difference of a media file with respect to the base media file. A record may be created to store the actual location where the difference is extracted from a media file to be archived.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a computer program product, and a computer system for suspending and activating a database index. A computer determines a quantity of changes for a number of rows of a database that are to be made by an update of the database. The computer determines whether to suspend an index of the database based, at least in part, on a comparison between the quantity of changes and a pre-determined threshold value. The computer suspends the index of the database based on a result of the comparison that indicates the quantity of changes at least meet the pre-determined threshold value. A suspension of the index of the database initiates a rebuilding of the index.

Abstract: A system and method provide for identifying coreference from serialized data coming from different services. The method includes generating a tree structure from serialized data. The serialized data includes responses to queries from the different services. The responses each identify a hierarchical relationship between a respective set of objects. Nodes of the tree structure each have a name corresponding to a respective one of the objects. The tree structure is traversed in a breadth first manner and, for each node in the tree structure, a respective pairwise similarity is computed with each of the other nodes of the tree structure. The computed pairwise similarity is compared with a threshold to identify co-referring nodes that refer to a same entity. The threshold is a function of a depth of the node in the tree structure.

Abstract: A systems and methods are described detect fraud in existing logs of raw data. There can be several disparate logs, each including data of disparate data types and generated by different and possibly unrelated software enterprise applications. The fraud management system aggregates and organizes the raw log data, extends the raw data with reference data, archives the data in a manner that facilitates efficient access and processing of the data, allows for investigation of potentially fraudulent usage scenarios, and uses the results of the investigation to identify patterns of data that correspond to correspond to high risk usage scenarios and/or process steps. In subsequent processing, archived data can be compared against the identified patterns corresponding to high risk usage scenarios to detect matches, and the invention thereby automatically detects high risk usage scenarios and issues appropriate alerts and reports.
