Abstract: A managed query execution platform, and methods thereof are provided. The, managed query execution platform includes a plurality of computing machines; a plurality of storage devices; and a communication fabric configured to allow communication of the plurality of computing machines with the plurality of storage devices over a storage communication protocol, wherein the plurality of storage devices are configured to maintain at least one indexed view, and wherein the plurality of computing machines are configured to execute queries on the at least one indexed view.

Abstract: A query execution fabric is provided. The a plurality of computing machines; and a plurality of storage devices communicatively connected to the plurality of computing machines using a storage communication protocol and configured to maintain a plurality of indexed views comprising index information and a plurality of data chunks, wherein the index information includes at least one local index per data chunk and at least one global index per each of the indexed views of the plurality of indexed views, and wherein each of the plurality of computing machines is configured to: verify a global index to locate segments of the plurality of indexed views; and verify a plurality of local indexes to locate the data chunks containing values related to a plurality of statements.

Abstract: A system and method for executing queries on an indexed view are presented. The method includes processing an input query directed to data maintained by the indexed view to generate a plurality of statements responsive to the input query, wherein the indexed view includes index information and a plurality data chunks; verifying a global index to locate segments of the indexed view; verifying a plurality of local indexes to locate data chunks containing values related to the plurality of statements, wherein the index information includes at least one local index per data chunk and at least one global index per the entire indexed view; processing the plurality of statements by accessing the data chunks containing values related to the plurality of statements; and responding to the input query based on the accessed data chunks.

Abstract: A hiccup management scheme for use within a storage system can maintain low latency on client I/O when a storage device is temporarily unavailable. In some embodiments, a storage using uses double parity data protection can tolerate concurrent hiccups by up to two storage devices within a storage array.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of a process that can be used to balance the allocation of primary memory between different types of information. In some embodiments, the memory allocation is balanced dynamically based on observed I/O patterns. Related system embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Described herein are several embodiments of systems and processes to decrease startup time for subsystems of a storage system. According to some embodiments, subsystem memory is allocated using memory-mapped files.
