    Abstract: The present disclosure provides solutions for determining the divergence (delta) between the current and previous reference data structures for mutable data in a search head. A method is provided that includes updating a pre-existing lookup table in a search head, generating a delta file that identifies the divergence between the updated and previous lookup table, and distributing the delta file to other components in the search environment. The compatibility of the delta file is checked with the local instance of the lookup table in each search component, and the lookup table is applied if compatibility is determined. However, if the delta file is determined to not be compatible with the current version of a local lookup table in an indexer, the entire lookup table sent to the requesting indexer instead.

  • Patent number: 11769072
    Abstract: The structure of an untagged document can be derived using a predictive model that is trained in a supervised learning framework based on a corpus of tagged training documents. Analyzing the training documents results in a plurality of document part feature vectors, each of which correlates a category defining a document part (for example, “title” or “body paragraph”) with one or more feature-value pairs (for example, “font=Arial” or “alignment=centered”). Any suitable machine learning algorithm can be used to train the predictive model based on the document part feature vectors extracted from the training documents. Once the predictive model has been trained, it can receive feature-value pairs corresponding to a portion of an untagged document and make predictions with respect to the how that document part should be categorized. The predictive model can therefore generate tag metadata that defines a structure of the untagged document in an automated fashion.

  • Patent number: 10387401
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with concurrently maintaining separate versions of records in an electronic database are described. In one embodiment, a method includes enabling the electronic database to concurrently store separate versions of a record by using a set of system columns to maintain the separate versions together in the electronic database and provide access to each of the separate versions in isolation from one another. The example method may also include, in response to identifying a change request to modify the record, generating an additional version of the record in the electronic database by adding the additional version into the electronic database with a new row identifier in a row identifier column and a row identifier from the record stored in the source column to uniquely identify the additional version as a version of the record and avoid conflicts between multiple versions of the record.

  • Patent number: 9959257
    Abstract: Techniques are described for populating visual designs with web content. In implementations, a document design is generated via a digital media application. The document design includes a layout of repeating design elements, such as a grid or table of repeating areas each having various design elements. Web content having a structured arrangement of data elements is accessed through a data panel exposed via the application. The web content data may be linked to the document design to populate elements of the document design with “real-world” data. To do so, the web content is to detect semantically similar repeating data elements by based on element positions, node types, style types, and node hierarchies reflected by structured data defining the web content. Design elements in the layout of the document design are then auto-populated with content of the semantically similar repeating data elements to produce a preview linked to “real-world” data.

  • Patent number: 9330072
    Abstract: Variations in user devices may result in content being rendered differently. Knowing the amount of space required to render the content item for a user device may allow more content to be shown. In one implementation, measurement results of rendering content items from user devices with various configurations may be obtained by running scripts on the user devices. A space need of the content items may be determined based on the measurement results. The determination may include determining a probabilistic distribution of a representation of space needed for the content items. A request for a content item for display in a slot of a web page may be received and a content item may be transmitted based on the probabilistic distribution that represents a percentage of content items that are truncated when displayed in the slot.
