Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for increasing program execution time are described. A computer system may implement a warmup engine that may allow defined portions of code to be pre-loaded (“warmed up”) for execution before application startup. The warmup engine may include warmup logic that warms up a defined portion of code. The mechanisms that trigger the warmup logic are called “warmers,” and each warmer may run in a warmer container. The computer system may execute each of the warmers according to a warmer configuration and may also log errors that may occur during warmer execution. In some implementations, an application may not become available during initialization until (or after) the warmup engine executes the warmers and/or warmup logic. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Database systems and related methods are provided for creating database records in response to submitted media content, such as an image.

Abstract: A method in a database system is disclosed. The method comprises generating a task template object from a platform entity with polymorphic lookup capability that can map to multiple tenant domains wherein the task template object contains one or more task completion storage records for storing task-specific information, converting the task template object into a work-type object by storing task-specific information in the one or more task completion storage records wherein the work-type object comprises a work-type object identifier (ID), a first record for recording the database ID of one or more work order objects mapped to the work-type object, and a first task completion storage record for storing a first type of task-specific information. The method further comprises generating a work order object for a task and providing the work order object with access to the task-specific information by linking the work-type object to the work order object.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for performing actions in response to information updates provided in an information feed. In one implementation, an information update is selected for comparison with a data record creation rule. The data record creation rule may specify a data record creation operation for creating a data record based the selected information update. The selected information update may be capable of being displayed in an information feed. A determination may be made as to whether the selected information update includes information satisfying a trigger condition associated with the data record creation rule. When the information in the selected information update satisfies the trigger condition, the data record creation operation may be performed to create the data record. The data record creation operation may identify information to include in the data record.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention include a system and method for removing duplicate records from a group of records in a database system. The method includes generating a first cluster of records from the group of records, generating a second cluster of records from the group of records, identifying sets of duplicate records in the first cluster of records, and identifying sets of duplicate records in the second cluster of records. The method also includes merging at least two sets of duplicate records associated with both the first cluster and the second cluster of records to form a merged set of duplicate records. The merging is performed based on the at least two sets of duplicate records having a common record. Duplicate records in the group of records may then be removed by removing duplicate records from the merged set of duplicate records.

Abstract: In an on demand database system, a query engine applies a custom index for inner queries. The query engine receives a query and determines that the query has an inner query nested within the primary query. The query engine identifies that a custom index exists for a client associated with the query, and applies the custom index to filter results for the query. The custom index includes a subset of information of a table that includes accounts for multiple different clients. By using the custom index, the query engine can filter the results more efficiently that if solely using the multiple client table.

Abstract: A database system is arranged to support collaboration among users of a file in a feed system of a multi-user social network database driven system, wherein at least some of the users are permitted to upload a file to the feed from a remote computing device, and other users may have permission to collaborate on modifying the file. A sync client application executable on a remote user machine enables an authorize user to select “sync all files in the feed,” which triggers (a) download of the latest version of all files in the feed from the cloud to all users associated with the feed, and (b) subsequent automatic synchronization of the files by selectively uploading to the cloud database a modified local copy of the file from a user machine, and then downloading a latest version of the modified file to all of the users associated with the feed.

Abstract: Distributed Systems are becoming very large and are being served by 10s of 1000s of individual machines. Among heterogeneous nodes, one node's capabilities can vary widely from that of others in the same cluster, for example, in a cluster of storage servers. Each of the clients/writers may retrieve, periodically, from all the servers, important metrics such as free disk space capacity, average disk IO utilization over the last N minutes, etc. We call these client to nodes (servers) messages as “periodic metrics query.” Using received metrics, clients dynamically assign weights to each of the servers as an indication of their current capabilities. Server metrics and or weights are distributed across the clients, and each client may make independent placement decisions based on their view of the cluster. Because clients are using substantially the same information for making decisions on placement, the result is improved balance across the servers.

Abstract: Among heterogeneous nodes in a cluster, one node's capabilities can vary widely from that of others in the same cluster, for example, in a cluster of storage servers. As each of the clients/writers to the cluster may contact different server nodes in the cluster over time, with each contact the client/writer may receive server metric information, including both the contacted node's current metrics as well as metrics for any other nodes of which the contacted node is aware. The client/writer may provide updated information to the contacted node regarding the metrics for other nodes of which the client/writer is aware or has contacted. The exchange of metric information may be piggybacked upon read/write requests to each node to conserve bandwidth.
