Patent number: 11474874Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically scaling a big data system. Methods include determining, at a first time, a first number of nodes for a cluster to process a request; assigning an amount of nodes equal to the first number of nodes to the cluster; determining a rate of progress of the request; determining, at a second time based on the rate of progress a second number of nodes; and modifying the amount of nodes to equal the second number of nodes. Systems include a cluster manager, to add and/or remove any nodes; the big data system, to process requests that utilize the cluster and nodes, and an automatic scaling cluster manager including a big data interface for communicating with the big data system; a cluster manager interface for communicating with the cluster manager; and a cluster state machine.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: QUBOLE, INC.Inventors: Joydeep Sen Sarma, Mayank Ahuja, Sivaramakrishnan Narayanan, Shrikanth Shankar

Patent number: 9104493Abstract: A system and method of managing a cluster of distributed machines is described. A cluster manager receives status updates regarding tasks running on each machine in the cluster from a task tracker running on the machine. The cluster manager receives resource requests from a job tracker created by a client wishing to run a job in the cluster. The cluster manager is responsible for implementing push-based fair scheduling of resources to the job trackers. The job tracker is responsible for running tasks for one job in the resource identified by the cluster manager. In one embodiment, the job tracker can run in the client for small jobs and in the cluster for larger jobs. The cluster manager can also be restarted, for example, for software updates without restraining the cluster.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Dmytro Molkov, Ramkumar Venkat Vadali, Chun-Yang Chen, Joydeep Sen Sarma

Patent number: 8380824Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying ownership by a computer of a storage device connected to a computer network is described. A first ownership information is written into a selected sector of the storage device by a computer having ownership of the device as a first indicia of ownership. A second ownership information is written into a storage device label of the storage device by the computer having ownership as a second indicia of ownership, the storage device label visible to a plurality of computers connected to the computer network. In the event that at a future time the first indicia of ownership does not match the second indicia of ownership, the first indicia of ownership is taken as definitive of ownership of the storage device.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2009Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Susan M.

Patent number: 8060776Abstract: A data storage system has two computers. Each computer is assigned to a set of data. Two copies of each set of data are maintained. A first copy is stored on a first set of disks and a second copy is stored on a second set of disks. Each time that a data is written by a computer, a label is written to each set of disks, the label having fields for a status of each computer, a first ordinal which is increased each time that a new data is written, and a time stamp giving a time at which the last write was performed. After failure of a computer, a processor determines, in response to reading the labels of the first set of disks and the second set of disks, the most up to date copy of the data assigned to the failed computer.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2008Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Scott Schoenthal, Steven H.

Patent number: 7953924Abstract: A method for managing a plurality of servers is disclosed. Each server of the plurality of servers has access to data stored by other servers. The data is stored to one or more data storage devices. Coordinating information is written for the plurality of servers to a master mailbox record. The coordinating information includes data that each server uses to recover after a failure by a server. The master mailbox record is stored on a selected storage device at a location known to the plurality of servers, and the selected storage device is designated as a lock storage device. A plurality of lock storage devices is chosen so that in the event of failure of a server of the plurality of servers, at least one lock storage device will be available to the remaining servers.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2010Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Richard O. Larson, Alan L. Rowe, Joydeep sen Sarma
