  • Patent number: 10684998
    Abstract: Mismatches between schema elements of a data set and a job are identified automatically. Furthermore, the mismatches can be presented visually in conjunction with an interactive visual workspace configured to support diagrammatic authoring of data transformation pipelines. After a data set is connected to a job, one or more mismatches can be determined and presented in context with the workspace. In addition, schema elements can be reconfigured by way of interaction with a visual representation of schema elements to resolve mismatches.

  • Patent number: 10606665
    Abstract: Job execution can be scheduled and monitored. Execution of a job results in generation of one or more data slices, which can be consumed as input by one or more related jobs. Data slices can be presented in an interactive view. Selection of a data slice in the view can trigger automatic identification of related data slices based on dependencies between data slices. Each data slice can also include and be presented with a status indicating the availability of corresponding data, such as pending, ready, or failed. Furthermore, selection of a data slice that failed to generate successfully can trigger identification of related data slices that failed or are predicted to fail to generate successfully.

  • Patent number: 9892175
    Abstract: A mechanism for providing a preview of a data set. The search system finds a data set relevant to the search query. For any given data set, the search system extracts only a sample of elements from the data set. The sample of elements provided to the requestor includes elements for which there is a match on the search query, and elements that have no hit, but are proximate to an element that has a hit. The user obtains a view constructed of the sample of elements provided by the search system. The user is also provided with navigation controls that correspond to the most search-relevant portions of the view. Controls associated with those portion(s) may then be selected to thereby move the preview of the data set so that the portion or corresponding hit for that portion is in view.

  • Patent number: 9684546
    Abstract: A view of data transformation jobs can be presented by way of a user interface. Related jobs can subsequently be identified automatically after a job is selected based on data dependencies between jobs. Execution status can also be determined and presented such that successful and failed execution of jobs, for example, can be differentiated. Furthermore, selection of a job run that failed to execute successfully can trigger identification of related jobs runs that failed or are predicted to fail to execute successfully.

  • Publication number: 20160117371
    Abstract: Jobs can be authored in conjunction with a visual workspace. Upon selection of representation of a data source in the workspace, a preview of the data source can be generated within context of the visual workspace. Further, representations of one or more data transformation operations can be provided with the preview. Selection of a transformation operation results in an updated preview reflecting application of the operation as well as generation of backend code to perform the operation. Furthermore, a job comprising one or more transformation operations can be added to the workspace automatically.

  • Publication number: 20160117087
    Abstract: Jobs can be created within a visual authoring environment. A new job of a selected type can be added to a diagrammatic workspace. Subsequently, a mechanism configured to enable selection of a saved job that implements all or a portion of the job can be presented. After selection, a saved job can be acquired and the workspace updated based thereon. Furthermore, data sources associated with the saved job can be can be added to a data source designated portion of the environment.
