Abstract: A multi-token matching scheme efficiently detects multi-token keyword matches in content received by a database system. A keyword list may include multi-token keywords. Head tokens from the multi-token keywords are converted into a head hashmap. Token chains identifying tokens and delimiters in the multi-token keywords are generated and linked to the head hashmap. Tokens in the content are compared with the head hashmap. The matching tokens and following segments in the content are compared with the token chains. Portions of the content matching the token chains are identified as keyword matches. The matching scheme may use reverse delimiter tries to detect content matches for multi-token keywords with leading delimiters.

Abstract: Some external users in a public on-line community may post excessive numbers of items, causing annoyance to others and unnecessary loading on database resources. A robust moderation framework enables an individual community moderator or admin to specify a set of rules and actions to mitigate this problem. Scalable, performant rate limiting rules employ windowed counters, separately for each rule, with the counters maintained in cache memory resources outside the main database.

Abstract: An automated self-healing database system is provided that includes a primary database, an application server that writes data to the primary database and reads data from the primary database when it is available, a standby database that is a replica of the primary database, and a self-healing module (SHM). The SHM can automatically detect unavailability of the primary database, and if the standby database is available, the SHM can automatically enable the standby database as readable and writable, assign the standby database the role of primary database at the primary site to start replicating data to other standby databases, and use a pre-established connection between the application server and the standby database to allow the application server to read data from the standby database and to write data to the standby database resulting in the standby database assuming role of the primary database at the primary site.

Abstract: An online system identifies an assignment for a computer program error indicated in an error message by applying an assignment model to token sequences identified in the error message. The error message includes a sequence of execution paths of the computer program. Each execution path indicates a function call active in computer memory when the error was generated. In other words, the error message allows tracking of the sequence of nested paths up to the point where the error was generated. In one example, the error message is a stack trace message that reports active stack frames in computer memory during the execution of the program.
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to signing and authentication of network messages such as API calls. A server system and a client system may collaboratively establish a shared secret key, which is then usable to sign such messages. These techniques may be useful in various situations, such as for integrations between different systems.
Abstract: Content deployment systems and methods are provided for integrating and deploying selected content items as part of a specific release. A content publishing engine includes a processor that can execute a release management API that is configured to manage and store a manifest record that specifies release items by API name that are allowed to be part of the specific release. The processor is configured to execute a bulk API that is configured to receive content package objects from a plurality of content sources. For example, the first content source can directly invoke the bulk API to send first content items to the content publishing engine. A filter module can extract selected first content items that are specified in the manifest record for inclusion in the specific release, and add the selected first content items into a release object so that they are included as part of the specific release.

Abstract: One or more client threads are executed. One or more processing threads corresponding to the one or more client threads are executed. The processing threads are configurable to generate statistical information for each database query statement processed by the corresponding client thread. The statistical information is generated from the processing threads. The statistical information is stored in chunks of memory managed via a plurality of queues. The chunks of memory containing the statistics are analyzed. Outlier statements are filtered based on the statistics. Non-outlier statements are stored by a storage device.
Abstract: In embodiments, methods and systems for controlling access to custom objects are provided. These techniques for controlling access to custom objects can enable embodiments to utilize a key for the protection of the security of data that is to remain private while not compromising efficiency of a query. The key for a requested custom object is identified and then used so that only an appropriate portion of a custom entity share table is searched to locate access information. It is then determined whether the user can access at least a portion of the custom object, and the appropriate and allowed data is sent to the user.

Abstract: A method and system for streaming information associated with a server and a computing system is described. The method may include increasing a packet size used for the streaming of information from a first packet size to a second packet size based on an identified increase in available bandwidth. The method further includes increasing a number of simultaneous connections used for the streaming of information from a first number of simultaneous connections to a second number of simultaneous connections based on the identified increase in available bandwidth in response to a determination that the second packet size equals a maximum packet size for a protocol used for the streaming of the information.
Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to discovering a previously unknown attribute of stream processing systems according to which client offsets or client subscription queries for a streaming data store rapidly converge to a dynamic tip of a data stream that includes the most recent messages or events. In particular, it relates to grouping clients into bins to reduce a number of queries to the streaming data store by several orders of magnitude when servicing tens, hundreds, thousands or millions of clients. The bin count is further reduced by coalescing bins that have overlapping offsets. It also relates to establishing separate caches only for the current tips of data streams and serving the bins from the caches instead of the backend data store using group queries. Further, the caches are periodically updated to include the most recent messages or events appended to the dynamic tips of the data streams.
Abstract: An ID service on an app server interacts with a corresponding identity app installed on a user device such as a smart phone. At setup, the ID service receives the user's public key and only a segment of the corresponding private key. A special challenge message is created and partially decrypted using the private key segment on the server side, and then decryption is completed on the client app using the remaining segment(s) of the private key to recover the challenge. A token authenticator based on the result of the decryption is sent back to the identity service, for it to verify validity of the result and, if it is valid, enable secure login without requiring a password.
Abstract: An artificial intelligence assistant (“chatbot”) operates within a multi-tenant database and allows users to interact with the underlying structured database through a natural language interface without using a standard structured query language or database interface. Users may interact with the chatbot via a chatroom and perform database queries using natural language expressions in the same manner as asking a person to perform the tasks. In addition, the chatbot may check user permissions and security parameters to determine if the user is permitted to access or alter data within the multi-tenant database.
Abstract: Methods are disclosed for dynamic node allocation for a server system that can automatically heal on failure—minimizing the need for static configuration—dynamically adjusting server resources to match load, and minimize end user wait times. The disclosed methods dynamically allocate nodes to increase capacity for a platform that accepts data queries. Additionally disclosed is a system for rolling version update deployment: workers maintain org lists of org-task-queues that they service; org-affinities between the workers and the org-task-queues require the workers to have access to local copies of immutable data sets to service org-tasks from the org-task-queues of the orgs that they service. A leader running on a worker implements a healing and balancing service that maintains worker redundancy, manages the workers' org-affinities to accumulate orgs on their respective org-lists. The leader implements messaging to the workers to update to a new software version and monitors completion of updates.
