Abstract: A computer-implemented method that includes receiving an ingestion request to ingest data to a database comprising physical shards and detecting that the ingestion request is directed to a first hotspot shard. The first hotspot shard has a contention level over a threshold value. The method also detects context characteristics within the data and generates a first virtual shard based on a first virtual shard key selected from the detected context characteristics. The first virtual shard virtually duplicates at least a portion of the first hotspot shard. The method also includes ingesting the data to the first virtual shard.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product for database compression oriented to combinations of fields of a database record. One or more combinations of fields of a record of a database are determined that satisfy a frequency criterion indicating that access frequencies of the one or more combinations of fields are higher than an access frequency threshold. The record is reorganized based on the one or more combinations of fields to store fields of each combination of the one or more combinations of fields in a respective contiguous storage space. The reorganized record is compressed by applying a compression scheme to the one or more combinations of fields.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for relational database locks based on columns. Database transactions may be targeted to specific columns of one or more records, instead of the entire row for those records, using primary keys. Column locks on specific keys are stored separately than column locks on ranges of keys, which are both checked when requesting a new column lock for either a single key or a range of keys. When a threshold number of columns for a given record, or range of records/keys, have been locked, the column locks for that record, or range of records, can be combined into a single row level lock to reduce resource costs for maintaining multiple concurrent locks.
