  • Platform-independent user-defined functions for data access
    Patent number: 10613855
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a user-defined function (UDF) that is defined using a standard UDF interface for accessing multiple platforms. Next, the system converts data in a platform into a standard form that is supported by the standard UDF interface using a platform-specific wrapper for the UDF and a platform-specific implementation of the standard UDF interface. The system then generates output data in the standard form by applying one or more operations to the data in the standard form. Finally, the system converts the output data into a platform-specific form that is supported by the platform and returns the output data in the platform-specific form.

  • Cross-region replication architecture
    Patent number: 10521449
    Abstract: One or more computing nodes located in a first region may maintain a first collection of data items. A second set of one or more computing nodes in a second region may maintain a collection of data items that is at least a partial replica of the first collection. Notifications of changes to the first collection may be transmitted, via a broadcast communications channel, to a replication module, which may be included in a client application. The replication module may transmit requests to update the second collection of data based on changes to the first collection. Conflicts may be resolved through a last-write wins policy.
