Abstract: Techniques of data flow control are disclosed herein. One example technique includes upon receiving a notification indicating a change to a content item in a source shard, parsing the content item to extract data representing attributes of the content item and identifying a partition of the system-wide index based on the extracted data representing the attributes of the content item. The example technique can also include transmitting, to a token issuer, a request for a token that represents a permission to write to the identified partition of the system-wide index and upon receiving a token issued by the token issuer in response to the transmitted request, transmitting the extracted data representing the attributes of the content item along with the received token to write the extracted data in the partition of the system-wide index.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining activated neural pathways in knowledge graphs are disclosed. In an embodiment, a computer system may retrieve data associated with a user account and generate a knowledge graph centered around an account under a current adjudication. The computer system may determine paths based on the knowledge graph using similarity and sentiment scores. By reducing the amount of data in the knowledge graph to specific data associated with paths of interest, unnecessary computer operations may be avoided, which increases processing times related to the knowledge graph and allows near real-time outputs based on the knowledge graph to be utilized. The computer system may rank the paths based on their similarity scores and sentiments scores to determine which paths are considered activated neural pathways in the knowledge graph. The computer system may base a determination of the current adjudication for the account on the activated neural pathways.

Abstract: Methods and systems described in this disclosure are directed to electronically generating narratives and tracking a user's actions in responses to receiving the narratives. The disclosed system can rank narratives for effectiveness of a narrative based on the responses. In some embodiments, the narratives can be classified into categories based on criteria pertaining to user population data or user-specific data.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system and method for retaining versions of an object. Changes are appended to a current version object resulting in a new current version object and a most recent previous version object comprising the current version object before the changes were appended. Version metadata, for each previous version object, includes the most recent previous version object, indicating an offset in the new current version object at which the previous version object can be recovered. The most recent previous version object is deleted and the version metadata, for the most recent previous version object after the most recent previous version object is deleted, is retained to allow recovery of a previous version object from the new current version object using the offset in the version metadata.

Abstract: A platform for data analytics may be provided in a hosted environment on a multi-tenant system. The platform provider may also provide transactional processing services. Data obtained from processing the transactional services may be stored in an n-dimensional cube with which analytics may be performed. A dimension and hierarchy model may be identified based on correlations between hierarchy dimensions and levels in a dataset, or in schema and queries related to the dataset. Correlations may be further based on data received from a data stream. Priority for calculating a hierarchy may be based on data received from a data stream.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to enable a partial migration of applications from one database system to another without modifying the applications. In embodiments, a proxy server is configured to monitor the application's usage of a current database, and generate a migration plan to partially migrate database objects used by the application to a different type of database. An object may be selected for migration based on its usage level or its portability. After the partial migration, the proxy server may remain in place as a request router to route the application's requests to the two databases. In embodiments, the migration system may forward queries to both databases and compare the query results received from the two. Based on the comparison results, the migration system may programmatically determine adjustments to its query handling configuration settings.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a data reconciliation engine works with data store nodes included in a distributed data store system to ensure consistency between the data store nodes. In operation, the data reconciliation receives a different data snapshot from each of the data store nodes. In response, the data reconciliation engine generates one or more recommendations designed to resolve inconsistencies between the data snapshots. The data reconciliation engine then transmits each recommendation to a different data store node. Because the data reconciliation engine performs many of the resource-intensive operations included in the data reconciliation process, the resources of the data store nodes may focus primarily on processing client requests instead of performing data reconciliation operations.

In one embodiment, a method can include identifying events matching criteria of an initial search query (each of the events including a portion of raw machine data that is associated with a time), identifying a set of fields, each field defined for one or more of the identified events, causing display of an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) that includes one or more interactive elements enabling a user to define a report for providing information relating to the matching events (each interactive element enabling processing or presentation of information in the matching events using one or more fields in the identified set of fields), receiving, via the GUI, a report definition indicating how to report information relating to the matching events, and generating, based on the report definition, a report including information relating to the matching events.

Abstract: A user interface (UI) uses overlays to tag representations of datacenter components with indications of changes that have occurred over a selected time interval. Log files, problem and service reports, and knowledge base items are gathered at various times to generate datacenter snapshots. A pair of snapshots can be compared to detect configuration changes, reported problems and their dispositions, and knowledge-base items introduced during the selected time interval. Trouble-shooting problems can be facilitated by using the interface to find changes that may have led to problems or that may cause problems in the future.
