Abstract: Described is a system that improves the performance of brokers that store partitions of data within a distributed data streaming platform by performing an efficient data redistribution process. The system may obtain data (e.g. metadata) describing the distribution storage partitions amongst storage brokers and determine the current (or initial) distribution may negatively impact the performance of the platform. Accordingly, the system may perform an efficient redistribution by performing a particular sequence of partition reassignments amongst brokers.

Abstract: A database server may identify mentioned names in a body of a message and extract the names using name identification heuristics and algorithms. The service retrieves or utilizes a distributed connection graph to identify contacts associated with the parties to the conversation that may match or be similar to the mentioned name. Contacts may be scored based on similarities between the extracted name the names associated with nodes of the graph, as well as other factors. The highest scoring contact may be surfaced or displayed to one or more of the parties to the communication message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for modifying default display configurations for objects in a user interface are described. A system may support automatically drawing objects in a user interface such that the objects do not overlap and are legible to a user. To draw the objects with no overlaps, the system may determine when objects overlap based on a sweep procedure that identifies locations of default positions for each object to be displayed in the user interface. If two objects are identified to overlap in both a first and a second dimension during the sweep procedure, the system may modify one of the objects to prevent the overlap. For example, the system may hide the object or may find a next best location to draw the object such that the objects no longer overlap. Performing the sweep procedure may reduce latency and processing resources needed to identify any overlapping objects.

Abstract: An application programming interface (API) platform accesses cloud-based software services in a cloud computing system. API requests used in the API platform include a tenant specific endpoint (TSE) that uses a unique tenant identifier and an API endpoint as a URL domain. The unique tenant identifier identifies a tenant associated with the API request and the API endpoint identifies one of the cloud-based software services. The combination of the unique tenant identifier and the API endpoint in the domain of the TSE maps to an IP address for a specific software service in a specific one of the data centers in the cloud computing system assigned to the tenant. This allows API requests to be routed directly to the tenant specific data centers without first being routed through a central routing service.
