  • Publication number: 20190347343
    Abstract: A method, performed by one or more processors, is disclosed, the method comprising receiving a stream of log data from one or more applications and indexing a plurality of different portions of the received stream to respective locations of a cold storage system. The method may also comprise storing, in an index, catalog pointers to the respective locations of the indexed portions in the cold storage system. One or more requests for log data may be received, and the method may also comprise subsequently identifying from the index catalog one or more pointers to respective indexed portions appropriate to at least part of the one or more requests, and sending of the identified one or more indexed portions to one or more hot storage systems each associated with a respective search node for processing of one or more search requests.

  • Patent number: 10452626
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for data migration. The system may comprise one or more processors and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to migrate at least one first table of a first database schema to at least one second table of a second database schema, determine a query for modifying the first table during the migration, modify the second table based at least in part on the query, and update a mutation table to describe the modification, wherein the mutation table at least describes the modification.

  • Publication number: 20190243619
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20190114335
    Abstract: A method is disclosed, comprising receiving, at a build service, an external dataset and an adaptor associated with the external dataset, the external dataset being in a format which is not managed by the build server. The method may also comprise querying the adaptor, by the build service, for information related to the external dataset. The method may also comprise receiving, at the build service, the information related to the external dataset; and causing, by the build service, the external dataset to be input into a build pipeline using the information related to the external dataset.

  • Publication number: 20180084086
    Abstract: 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.
