Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to database techniques for storing metadata for web applications. In some embodiments, manageable state information indicates whether certain entities (e.g., developers or subscribers) are allowed to edit particular fields (e.g., upon installing a version of an application package or when updating a package to a new version). In some embodiments, the manageable state information is stored separately from the corresponding metadata, which may avoid a need to query the metadata to determine manageable state and may allow validation of manageable state rules upon insertion of metadata into a new organization. In some embodiments, a short-lived build organization may facilitate validation of updates to web application packages.

Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for facilitating data migration. Data migration is customizable according to user-specified data formats. A data migration system monitors the data migration process and automatically retries data migration tasks that have failed. In addition, the results of data migration are reversed according to detected threshold conditions.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating a quorum-based coordination of broker health for management of resources for application servers in an on-demand services environment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes monitoring, via health checkers, health of a cluster of brokers in a distributed environment having application servers in communication over a network, receiving an indication from at least one health checker that a broker is failing, wherein the broker is associated with a cluster of worker nodes, collecting health status reports relating to the broker from the health checkers, examining the health status reports based on a quorum-based voting policy, and classifying the broker as unhealthy if, based on the quorum-based voting policy, a percentage of the health status reports regards the broker as failed, wherein the percentage is greater than a first threshold percentage.

Abstract: Upon receiving instructions from a release orchestrator to validate a second application version prior to a transition to sending production traffic to the second application version instead of a first application version, a determination of an application version identifier for a second application version is performed. Tests are selected based on the application version identifier and version rules. The tests are performed by sending test traffic to the second application version via a routing engine while the routing engine routes production traffic to the first application version. Based on the responses to the test traffic, a determination that any failure rules for any of the tests that failed indicate that on a failure the transition should not occur is performed. Responsive to that determination, a communication to the release orchestrator that the second application version is not validated for production traffic and the transition should not occur is performed.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for suppressing network feed activities using an information feed in an on-demand database service environment. In one embodiment, a message is received, including data indicative of a user action. An entity associated with the user action is identified, where the entity is a type of record stored in a database. A type of the entity is identified. It is determined whether the entity type is a prohibited entity type. When the entity type is not a prohibited entity type, the message data is saved to one or more tables in the database. The tables are configured to store feed items of an information feed capable of being displayed on a device. When the entity type is a prohibited entity type, the saving of the message data, to the one or more tables in the database configured to store the feed items, is prohibited.

Abstract: In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing schema-driven on-the-fly code generation within a cloud based computing environment.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for servicing requests in an environment having multiple application servers each having one or more queues to store indications of requests to be serviced by the application servers. A utilization level is determined for a first application server of the multiple application servers. The utilization level is compared to a pre-selected utilization threshold level. The system determines whether to service requests allocated to other application servers in response to the comparing. At least one request allocated to a second application server for servicing.

Abstract: Automated query tuning. A database query to be executed against a database is received. The database query is analyzed to determine one or more potential indexes to be evaluated. The one or more potential indexes are evaluated to determine if an optimization utilizing a selected potential index provides improved performance over performing the database query without the selected potential index. The one or more potential indexes are scored based on results of the evaluating. A recommendation of one or more of the potential indexes is provided to a source of the database query.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to providing interactive feedback based on changes in search parameters. A computing system may receive user input specifying adjustment of a relevancy parameter from a first value to a modified value. The relevancy parameter may be usable to determine ordering of results for search queries. In response to the input, the system may cause information to be displayed that indicates a value of a search metric, and the value may be based on one or more prior search queries using the adjusted relevancy parameter. The system may additionally or alternatively cause first and second sets of ordered search results to be displayed, where the first set is based on the first value of the relevancy parameter and the second set is based on the modified value of the relevancy parameter.

Abstract: Mechanisms and techniques for customized user validation. A login attempt is received from a remote electronic device with one or more computing devices that provide access to one or more resources. The login attempt is analyzed to determine a profile from a plurality of profiles corresponding to the login attempt. The one or more computing devices support the plurality profiles with each profile having a corresponding flow. The flow corresponding to the profile is performed prior to allowing continuation of the login attempt. The login attempt is continued, via the one or more computing devices, after the flow corresponding to the profile is completed. Access is granted to the one or more resources, via the one or more computing devices, in response to a successful completion of the login attempt.

Abstract: The technology disclosed supports content collaboration between any number of users and systems by constructing WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) outputs of changes proposed by the users to a shared live application or to a document such as code, text, or graphics. The technology disclosed allows authors to update consumer facing content instantaneously based on walkthrough feedback from other contributors or coauthors. Further, the authors, without requiring technical expertise of a developer, can immediately see the consequences of incorporating changes suggested by the contributing authors, based on the WYSIWYG outputs of the changes proposed by the authors.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for asynchronous deletion at a non-relational database are described. The non-relational database may store a set of data object associations. The non-relational database may receive a read request indicating a first data object identifier. Based on the first data object identifier indicated in the read request, the non-relational database may identify a second data object identifier according to a first data object association of the stored set of data object associations that is indexed in the non-relational database with the first data object identifier. The non-relational database may determine that a last data entry that is indexed in the non-relational database with the identified second data object identifier and is associated with the first data object identifier has been deleted from the non-relational database. The non-relational database may delete the first data object association from the non-relational database.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for dynamic node allocation for a server system that can automatically heal on failure—minimizing the need for static configuration—dynamically adjusting server resources to match load, and minimize end user wait times. The disclosed methods dynamically allocate nodes to increase capacity for a platform that accepts data queries. Additionally disclosed is a system for rolling version update deployment: workers maintain org lists of org-task-queues that they service; org-affinities between the workers and the org-task-queues require the workers to have access to local copies of immutable data sets to service org-tasks from the org-task-queues of the orgs that they service. A leader running on a worker implements a healing and balancing service that maintains worker redundancy, manages the workers' org-affinities to accumulate orgs on their respective org-lists. The leader implements messaging to the workers to update to a new software version and monitors completion of updates.

The header portion may include an identifier of an originating service that produced the communication, an identifier of a transaction for the communication, and an identifier of the parent span. The method may include identifying the parent span and the originating serviced based on the header portion. The method may also include performing a system trace process of the communication throughout the transaction based on the parent span and the originating service.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for synchronizing and joining multiple calls from a first thread and one or more second threads to execute a particular code segment. In response to a call from the first thread to execute the particular code segment, a task synchronizer module calls the particular code segment on behalf of the first thread. When execution of the particular code segment starts, and a call is received from a second thread to execute the particular code segment after receiving the call from the first thread, the task synchronizer module suspends execution of the particular code segment so that the second thread awaits for the execution of the particular code segment on behalf of the first thread to complete. When execution completes, a result value or exception is stored in a task object, and the second thread can read the result value or the exception.

Abstract: The foregoing are among the objects attained by the invention, which provides, in some aspects, digital data processing methods for generation of customized user interfaces that present links, images or other components representing items of interest to a user in an order that is prioritized as a function of (a) representations in a multidimensional factor space of characteristics of the respective items, and (b) representations in that same multidimensional space of characteristics of “context-indicative items”—e.g., items in which the user has previously shown an interest, as indicated by clicks or other interactions with those items respective components in the user interface.
