Publication number: 20210073103Abstract: One or more processors examine source code of one or more software packages that produce output messages and identify, in the source code, one or more call expressions that each represent a logging call. The one or more processors generate a number of search patterns for parsing output messages produced by the one or more software packages, wherein each of the search patterns is based on one or more arguments of a corresponding call expression of the one or more call expressions. The one or more processors further reduce the number of search patterns to be applied to the output messages produced by the one or more software packages to identify log entries among the output messages.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2019Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: James Ross, Robert Fink

Patent number: 10860299Abstract: Data transformation in a distributed system of applications and data repositories is described. The subsystems for the overall framework are distributed, thereby allowing for customization to require only isolated changes to one or more subsystems. In one embodiment, a source code repository is used to receive and store source code. A build subsystem can retrieve source code from the source code repository and build it, using one or more criteria. By building the source code, the build subsystem can generate an artifact, which is executable code, such as a JAR or SQL file. Likewise, by building the source code, the build subsystem can generate one or more job specifications for executing the executable code. In one embodiment, the artifact and job specification may be used to launch an application server in a cluster. The application server can then receive data transformation instructions and execute the data transformation instructions.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Palantir Technologies Inc.Inventors: Robert Fink, Matthew Cheah, Mingyu Kim, Lynn Cuthriell, Divyanshu Arora, Justin Uang, Jared Newman, Jakob Juelich, Kevin Chen, Mark Elliot, Michael Nazario

Patent number: 10827036Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to version control. A version control server receives, from a client device, a request for making changes to a portion of data stored in a data store. The version control server verifies that the client device has permission to make the changes to the portion of the data stored in the data store. The version control server updates, using a version control servlet, the data store according to the request. The version control sever creates, forks, merges or deletes, using a repository management API (application programming interface), a repository and/or the files in the repository in the data store based on the request. The version control server triggers, using the repository management API, one or more webhooks in response to the request.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Palantir Technologies Inc.Inventors: Jared Newman, Grace Wang, Benjamin Duffield, Jimin Song, Robert Fink, Mark Elliot
