  • Patent number: 10885064
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for instrumentation and control of workloads in a massively parallel processing database. Deployment is in a cluster which mirrors the cluster of the database to be controlled. The system includes data publishing modules, action agents, rules processing modules, deployment managers, rule compilation and management tools. Together these provide a distributed, fault tolerant system for the automated rules-based control of work in a database cluster. A first calculation master, upon receiving a request, performs local calculation on a first node, and directs a second calculation master to perform local calculation on a second node. The first calculation master then performs global calculation using intermediate results from the first node and the second node.

The system includes data publishing modules, action agents, rules processing modules, deployment managers, rule compilation and management tools. Together these provide a distributed, fault tolerant system for the automated rules-based control of work in a database cluster. For example, in deploying an update, a deployment manager pushes the update to one or more nodes and instructs each of the one or more nodes to restart in a bootstrap mode. The deployment manager generates a respective configuration package for each of the one or more nodes, and restarts each of the one or more nodes in a production mode.

The system includes data publishing modules, action agents, rules processing modules, deployment managers, rule compilation and management tools. Together these provide a distributed, fault tolerant system for the automated rules-based control of work in a database cluster. A rule specifies an action on the system and a condition for performing the action, the condition including a value, one or more tags corresponding to the value, and a relation between the one or more tags and the value. The system triggers the action based on evaluating the condition.
