Abstract: Systems and methods process log data relating to usage of a multi-tenant application server. An input module receives a request from a user that identifies requested log data by a particular user or tenant of the multi-tenant application system. A log query service automatically formats the database query for the requested log data based upon the request received from the user, and stores the formatted database query on the storage device. A batch server subsequently retrieves the database query from the storage device, submits the database query to the data analysis engine, obtains the requested information from the data analysis engine after the query is completed, and notifies the user that the requested information is available for output.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a density-based clustering algorithm that decomposes and reformulates the DBSCAN algorithm to facilitate its performance on the Map-Reduce model. The DBSCAN algorithm is reformulated into connectivity problem using a density filter method and a partial connectivity detector. The density-based clustering algorithm uses message passing and edge adding to increase the speed of result merging, it also uses message mining techniques to further decrease the number of iterations to process the input graph. The algorithm is scalable, and can be accelerated by using more machines in a distributed computer network implementing the Map-Reduce program.

Abstract: Embodiments are described for a method for processing graph data by executing a Markov Clustering algorithm (MCL) to find clusters of vertices of the graph data, organizing the graph data by column by calculating a probability percentage for each column of a similarity matrix of the graph data to produce column data, generating a probability matrix of states of the column data, performing an expansion of the probability matrix by computing a power of the matrix using a Map-Reduce model executed in a processor-based computing device; and organizing the probability matrix into a set of sub-matrices to find the least amount of data needed for the Map-Reduce model given that two lines of data in the matrix are required to compute a single value for the power of the matrix. One of at least two strategies may be used to computing the power of the matrix (matrix square, M2) based on simplicity of execution or improved memory usage.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable media for presenting feed items in an information feed to be displayed on a display device. In some implementations, a first feed item including first data is received, and a second feed item including second data is received. In some instances, presentation information is generated indicating that the second feed item is capable of being displayed on the display device in a spatial relationship with the first feed item, where the spatial relationship is independent of a linear presentation of the feed items in the information feed. In some instances, generated presentation information includes a first presentation and a second presentation, where the first presentation indicates that the second feed item is capable of being displayed on the display device in a spatial relationship with the first feed item, and the second presentation is different from the first presentation.
