Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to discovering multiple previously unknown and undetected technical problems in fault tolerance and data recovery mechanisms of modern stream processing systems. In addition, it relates to providing technical solutions to these previously unknown and undetected problems. In particular, the technology disclosed relates to discovering the problem of modification of batch size of a given batch during its replay after a processing failure. This problem results in over-count when the input during replay is not a superset of the input fed at the original play. Further, the technology disclosed discovers the problem of inaccurate counter updates in replay schemes of modern stream processing systems when one or more keys disappear between a batch's first play and its replay. This problem is exacerbated when data in batches is merged or mapped with data from an external data store.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to managing processing of long tail task sequences in a stream processing framework. In particular, it relates to operating a computing grid that includes a plurality of physical threads which processes data from one or more near real-time (NRT) data streams for multiple task sequences, and queuing data from the NRT data streams as batches in multiple pipelines using a grid-coordinator that controls dispatch of the batches to the physical threads. The method also includes assigning a priority-level to each of the pipelines using a grid-scheduler, wherein the grid-scheduler initiates execution of a first number of batches from a first pipeline before execution of a second number of batches from a second pipeline, responsive to respective priority levels of the first and second pipelines.

Abstract: The technology disclosed offers a declarative and visualization framework that implements a state machine for multi-step progression of interaction with an entity. The declarative framework is usable over and over for a broad range of applications because it provides a simple rule-based authoring tool that can be used for specifying different elements and components of a complex state machine, including state definitions, state transition triggers, state transition conditions and state transition actions. Once defined, the state machine is automatically generated and visually implemented based on the declarative input provided by a non-technical user.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to maintaining throughput of a stream processing framework while increasing processing load. In particular, it relates to defining a container over at least one worker node that has a plurality workers, with one worker utilizing a whole core within a worker node, and queuing data from one or more incoming near real-time (NRT) data streams in multiple pipelines that run in the container and have connections to at least one common resource external to the container. It further relates to concurrently executing the pipelines at a number of workers as batches, and limiting simultaneous connections to the common resource to the number of workers by providing a shared connection to a set of batches running on a same worker regardless of the pipelines to which the batches in the set belong.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to processing events generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In particular, it relates to storing a machine-readable declarative specification of stateful event processing of an automated multi-step progression of monitoring of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that generate events.

The state processing network implements both the time based transition triggers and the event based transition triggers after being initiated by the IoT devices. Further, data structures, which record monitoring status of particular IoT devices, are compiled. Finally, the state processing network further selects an alternative action to trigger, and triggers the selected action using at least some data from a particular event being processed.

In particular, it relates to operating a computing grid that includes machine resources, with heterogeneous containers defined over whole machines and some containers including multiple machines. It also includes initially allocating multiple machines to a first container, initially allocating first set of stateful task sequences to the first container, running the first set of stateful task sequences as multiplexed units of work under control of a container-scheduler, where each unit of work for a first task sequence runs to completion on first machine resources in the first container, unless it overruns a time-out, before a next unit of work for a second task sequence runs multiplexed on the first machine resources. It further includes automatically modifying a number of machine resources and/or a number assigned task sequences to a container.

Abstract: Techniques for providing feed-based case management on an online social network. A user interface that includes a publisher and an information feed is provided. Information associated with a record is received and the record is updated in a database system. A feed item associated with the database system update is generated and provided in the information feed. The feed item includes one or more actionable selections providing a reference to the publisher. Selection of one of the one or more actionable selections causes the publisher to be operable to receive further information associated with the record. The record is capable of being updated based on the further information. In some implementations, the record is a case and the user interface serves as a single interface for all interactions required in solving the case.
