  • Publication number: 20200250007
    Abstract: Described is a system and method for compacting data into customized (e.g. optimal) file sizes for processing by computing resources. The mechanism may leverage various computing resources such as a cluster computing frameworks combined with a stream processing platform to efficiently process the activity data. For example, activity data of an organization may be processed by a set of jobs (or sub-jobs) as part of a data stream by a set of distributed computing resources. In order to efficiently process such data, the mechanism may compact the data into customized (e.g. optimal) file sizes. For example, the customized file sizes may provide an optimal (or near optimal) amount of data to be processed by each job, for example, to improve performance.

  • Publication number: 20200250172
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for event sourcing datastores are provided. Events are sent to an event sourcing datastore (ESDS) from an external service, and the events are appended to an event log. The ESDS maintains the event log in one table and the events are automatically aggregated via streaming. The ESDS is linearly scalable, and enforces uniqueness, consistency, and user-defined constraints when appending events to the event log. The aggregate state is computed asynchronously and transparently cached, which provides increased read throughput and reduced latency. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20200250687
    Abstract: A system determines factored score by multiplying factor and match score for values of field in two records, offset score by adding offset to factored score, and weighted score by applying weight to offset score. The system determines status for two records based on combining weighted score with other weighted score corresponding to other field of two records. The system revises factor, offset, and weight based on feedback associated with two records. The system determines revised factored score by multiplying revised factor and match score for other values of field in two other records, revised offset score by adding revised offset to revised factored score, and revised weighted score by applying revised weight to revised offset score. The system determines learned status for two other records based on combining revised weighted score with additional weighted score corresponding to other field for two other records.

  • Publication number: 20200249932
    Abstract: Maintaining client version affinity during a rolling server cluster upgrade includes a server in the server cluster receiving a request from a client and checking the request for a version cookie indicating a software version that the client is running. Responsive to a determination that the server is running the same software version as the client, the server serves the request. Responsive to a determination that the client is running a software version matching a previous software version of the server, the server initiates a software upgrade on the client instead of servicing the request. Responsive to a determination that the server is not running the same software version as the client, the server forwards the request to one of the other servers in the server cluster that is running the same software version as the client.

  • Patent number: 10733241
    Abstract: An online system stores documents for access by users. The online system also stores query independent information about the documents. Query independent features include data that can be used to score or rank a document independent of any terms entered as a search query. The online system periodically determines whether the values of query independent features have changed, such as by checking activity logs. The online system updates records of query independent features accordingly, and sends information about the updated records to an enterprise search platform for re-indexing. When a user sends a search query to the online system, the enterprise search platform determines whether documents are relevant to the query based on the document contents and the query independent features associated with the documents.
