  • Patent number: 10007684
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for generating a view for a schema. A schema provides a definition of elements, wherein at least one of the elements comprises a recursive element of a recursive data type, wherein the recursive data type allows for instances of the recursive element to include instances of that same recursive data type at different levels in a hierarchy. Indication is received to transform the recursive types to non-recursive structures. A view for the schema is generated including information on the indication to transform the recursive types to non-recursive structure, wherein the processing of the data defined by the view causes a parser to generate a structured element for each instance of the recursive element in schema data being parsed, wherein the generated structured element includes a unique identifier of the instance of the recursive element.

  • Patent number: 9971526
    Abstract: The current document describes a storage system that provides a storage volume with a block-data interface to one or more clients. The storage system provides a key-value store that is associated with the storage volume. The clients access the key-value store via a key-value interface that provides a number of key-value operations to read, write, list, and delete key-value records from the key-value store. In some implementations, the key-value interface provides additional key-value operations that support the use of the key-value store by more than one client at a time. An environment in which the key-value store is used by the clients to retain I/O throttling parameters is described.
