Abstract: A system tokenizes values stored in a field by multiple records. The system creates a trie from the tokenized values, each branch in the trie labeled with one of the tokenized values, each node storing a count indicating the number of the multiple records associated with a tokenized value sequence beginning from a root of the trie. The system tokenizes a value stored in the field by a prospective record. Beginning from the root of the trie, the system identifies each node corresponding to a token value sequence for the prospective record's tokenized value. Beginning from the most recently identified node for the prospective record's token value sequence, the system identifies each extending node which stores a count that satisfies a threshold, each identified extending node corresponding to another token value sequence. The system uses the other token value sequence to identify one of the multiple records that matches the prospective record.
Abstract: A method of collecting data from multiple sources in a multi-tenant system is provided. The method includes obtaining data corresponding to a first tenant in the multi-tenant system and a second tenant in the multi-tenant system from a first source, obtaining data corresponding to the first tenant in the multi-tenant system and the second tenant in the multi-tenant system from a second source, and aggregating the data obtained from the first and second sources into a single database and associating each entry of the obtained data with at least one of the tenants of the multi-tenant system.
Abstract: Content deployment systems and methods are provided for continuously integrating and deploying selected content items from a plurality of content sources into a specific release as part of the specific release. For example, a first content source stores a plurality of first content items for potential inclusion in the specific release. A manifest record for the specific release specifies release items that are allowed to be part of the specific release. A proxy can periodically retrieve selected ones of the first content items that are specified in the manifest record, and push them to a content publishing engine. Any content items that are not specified in the manifest record are rejected by the proxy. A processor of the content publishing engine can allow for continuous integration of the selected ones of the first content items into the specific release.

Abstract: An application server platform operated by a cloud computing services provider receives input from a customer organization application executing on the application server platform, the input specifying a first action on a first item type, and a second action on a second item type to recommend in response to the specified first action on the first item type. The application server platform searches for a record in a permanent data store that contains the first action, the first item type, the second action, and the second item type, and assigns a value to a token associated with the record based on when the application server platform most recently generated a recommendation that included the first action on the first item type and the second action on the second item type from the record, when the search locates the record in the permanent data store.
Abstract: Container orchestration system (COS) service discovery across multiple COS clusters based on COS cluster domain name system (DNS) is described. An indication that a first COS service and first COS endpoints are created in a first COS cluster is received. In response to the receipt of the indication, a request to create, in a second COS cluster, a second COS service and second COS endpoints is transmitted. The second COS service and the second COS endpoints correspond to the first COS service and the first COS endpoints. The creation of the second COS service and the second COS endpoints causes insertion of first DNS records in a first DNS server that is local to the second COS cluster enabling COS pods of the second COS cluster to communicate with the COS pods of the first COS cluster through a network.
Abstract: A system receives one or more changes to a platform-independent declarative specification to generate a modified platform-independent declarative specification that captures various aspects for deploying a data center on a target cloud platform. The system facilitates auditing by generating a snapshot of each modified declarative specification. After compilation of the modified declarative specification to generate a platform-specific metadata representation of the data center, the system generates a unique identifier, and associates the generated snapshot of the modified declarative specification, the metadata representation of the data center, the provisioned cloud resources on the target cloud platform, and the deployed data center on the target cloud platform with the unique identifier.
