Abstract: Provided is a system and method which may execute a find operation on a union mount via individual find operations on the underlying file systems that make up the union mount rather than perform the find operation through the union mount itself. As a result, processing time of can be significantly reduced. In one example, the method may include receiving a request for a data item to be retrieved from a union-mounted file system comprising a plurality of layers of files which have been merged together, simultaneously executing, via a file manager, a plurality of find operations on the plurality of layers, respectively, without merging the plurality of layers together, receiving a plurality of sets of search results of the plurality of find operations from the plurality of layers in response to the executing, and merging and displaying the plurality of sets of search results.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method which perform an antivirus scan of incoming files via a file management application of a file system. Infected files can be prevented from being stored to the file system. In one example, the method may include receiving, via a first application contained in a first data container, a data file that is uploaded for storage to a file system, storing the data file in a temporary storage, transmitting a location of the data file in the temporary storage to a second application contained in a second data container, and receiving, via the first application contained in the first data container, a response from the second application contained in the second container, indicating results of a security scan performed on the data file.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining the similarity between a reference point-of-interest and similarity candidate points-of-interest. Data specifying a reference point-of-interest and location data of a search region are received. A reference vector specifying a plurality of features associated with the reference point-of-interest is retrieved. A plurality of candidates for similar points-of-interest are determined based, at least in part, on the search region. A similarity score is determined for each of the candidates. A list of one or more similar points-of-interest is generated based on the similarity scores.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining the similarity between two points-of-interest. Data about a plurality of features of each of a plurality of points-of-interest are received. A feature vector is created based on the respective features for each of the points-of-interest. A geospatial index comprising the feature vectors and associated location data for each of the points-of-interest is generated.
