Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to providing strong ordering in multi-stage processing of near real-time (NRT) data streams. In particular, it relates to maintaining current batch-stage information for a batch at a grid-scheduler in communication with a grid-coordinator that controls dispatch of batch-units to the physical threads for a batch-stage. This includes operating a computing grid, and queuing data from the NRT data streams as batches in pipelines for processing over multiple stages in the computing grid.
Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for writing events to a data store. An application server generates events, the data store that stores the events, and a temporary events file storage system (TEFSS) temporarily stores groups of events as events files. When events are unable to be written directly to the data store, an indirect events writer is invoked that includes event capture threads each being configured to generate a particular events file, and write it to the TEFSS. Each events file includes a plurality of events flushed from an in-memory buffer service. An events file uploader service reads the events file(s) from the TEFSS, and then writes the events from each of the events files to the data store.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided. The system includes a data store that is configured to store events in an event table, a temporary events file storage system (TEFSS), and a cluster of application servers. The cluster includes a first application server that generates events, and a second application server that includes an events file uploader service. When the first application server is unable to directly write events to the data store, an indirect events writer generates events file(s), and writes the events file(s) to the TEFSS. Each events file includes a plurality of events flushed from an in-memory buffer service at the first application server. When the events file uploader service determines that the first application server is inactive, it reads the events file(s) from the TEFSS, and writes the events from each of the events files to the data store.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes systems and methods for a recursive cell-based hierarchy for data visualization. The technology disclosed relates to a platform for ultra-fast, ad-hoc data exploration and faceted navigation on integrated, heterogeneous data sets. The disclosed apparatus and methods for secure isolation of scripting from graphics make it possible to securely share live data as rendered on a live dashboard, for both desktop and mobile application environments, without saving a new state on a server when time data and dashboard elements are updated. The disclosed recursive cell-based hierarchy for data visualization makes it possible to target multiple platforms—generating data visualization representations that can be displayed when rendered natively on both desktop and mobile devices, and when rendered in a browser window.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods and systems are provided for executing tests in a system that includes a user system and a cloud-based computing platform communicatively coupled to the user system. The user system includes a processing system, memory and an input system that receives input parameters specified by a user of the user system. The memory can store a test class filter module executable by the processing system. Upon being executed by the processing system, the test class filter module can, based on one or more of the input parameters, group and filter test class identifiers to generate a unique test class identifier array of filtered test class identifiers that correspond to a particular subset of tests that are to be executed during testing of an application. A test execution engine of the cloud-based computing platform can then execute the particular subset of tests corresponding to the filtered test class identifiers specified in the unique test class identifier array.

Abstract: The technology disclosed improves existing streaming processing systems by allowing the ability to both scale up and scale down resources within an infrastructure of a stream processing system. In particular, the technology disclosed relates to a dispatch system for a stream processing system that adapts its behavior according to a computational capacity of the system based on a run-time evaluation. The technical solution includes, during run-time execution of a pipeline, comparing a count of available physical threads against a set number of logically parallel threads. When a count of available physical threads equals or exceeds the number of logically parallel threads, the solution includes concurrently processing the batches at the physical threads. Further, when there are fewer available physical threads than the number of logically parallel threads, the solution includes multiplexing the batches sequentially over the available physical threads.
Abstract: A system and method for evaluating claims from sources to update database records. A trust score is developed for each source. If a source submits a claim, the trust score for that source and the value of the claim are evaluated against prior conflicting claims. If the current claim is deemed the most likely, then it is adopted as provisional “truth”. If not, the current claim is rejected.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing support representative access to applications deployed in an enterprise network environment. An access provisioning system defines a support user class in a user profile database for an application executed on an organization partition within the network. The support user is granted read only privileges to metadata of the application. An organization administrator can grant support personnel access to the application as a support user, thus the ability to view, analyze, and possibly modify the metadata. The access provisioning system generates a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) assertion upon request by the support personnel to enable access to the data to the extent of the granted privileges. The SAML protocol includes authentication of the support representative as an authorized support user within the system.
Abstract: A system stores first information, provided by a first user input via a mobile operating system, which enables access to a first restricted access website. The system stores a first screenshot and first data associated with the first restricted access website in response to a first user request, via the mobile operating system, to switch to a second restricted access website. The system stores second information, provided by a second user input via the mobile operating system, which enables access to the second restricted access website. The system stores a second screenshot and second data associated with the second restricted access website in response to a second user input, via the mobile operating system, to switch to the first restricted access website. The system outputs the first screenshot supported by the first data. The system enables access to the first restricted access website based on the stored first information.
Abstract: A method for automatically updating a filter logic expression representing a Boolean filter comprising a plurality of search conditions is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first indication to remove a first search condition from a condition list comprising search conditions. Each search condition is associated with an identifier and the first search condition is associated with a first identifier, and the search conditions are listed in sequential order according to the associated identifier. In response to receiving the first indication, a second search condition associated with a second identifier that sequentially follows the first identifier is identified, and the second search condition is reassociated with a third identifier that immediately precedes the second identifier. A filter logic expression comprising a plurality of identifiers and operators and representing a Boolean filter is then modified by automatically replacing any reference to the second identifier with the third identifier.
Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for creating scripts to provide offline prompts in a social networking application operating on a client device are provided. History data for a user of the social networking application is received at a server. A script is created by the server based on the history data for the at least one user. The script, when executed by a client device remote from the server and operated by the user, provides a prioritized list of user identifiers on the social networking application. The script is sent by the server to the client device.
