Abstract: A delta store giving row-level versioning semantics to a non-row-level versioning underlying store is described. An example method includes establishing a column-based in-memory database including a main store and a delta store, where the main store does not allow concurrent transactions on a same table and the delta store has a plurality of row-visibility bitmaps implementing a row-level versioning mechanism that allows concurrent transactions on the same table. A transaction associated with the column-based in-memory database is received. For each table read by the transaction, a version of the table in the delta store that represents a transaction-consistent snapshot of the database visible to the transaction is determined. Each table is represented in the main store and the delta store; and each version of the table is represented by one or more bitmaps.

Abstract: A query of spatial data is received by a database comprising a columnar data store storing data in a column-oriented structure. Thereafter, a spatial data set is mapped to physical storage in the database using a space-filling curve. The spatial data set is then compacted and such compacted data can be used to retrieve data from the database that is responsive to the query. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Among other things, as the user points the mobile device's camera at one or more sections of the physical location, data relating to the captured image or images of such sections of the physical location are transmitted to and processed by a remote inventory assessment engine to determine a current inventory level of the product in the imaged section or sections.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method receives a document including metadata in a serial format and parses the document to determine components in the metadata, a nested structure of the components, and an order of the components in the data. The metadata is stored in a table format where columns of the table define the nested structure of the components and the order of the components in the data. A query is received for the data. The method determines components from the metadata stored in the table format from the columns that satisfy the query where the components are determined based on the nested structure of the determined components and the order of the determined components from information in the columns of the table. A result for the query is output including the determined components based on the nested structure of the determined components and the order of the determined components.

Abstract: A name of one or more entity classes of the data model may be refined to conform to a naming convention. A semantic meaning of each of the names and one or more attributes of each entity class may be determined. It may be determined that the name of a first entity class is semantically similar to the name of a second entity class based on a semantic distance between the semantic meaning of the names, where a substantial similarity may be determined between the first entity class and the second entity class by comparing the semantic meaning of the one or more attributes of the first entity class to the semantic meaning of the one or more attributes of the second entity class. The data model may be normalized based on the substantial similarity.

Abstract: An HTTP tunneling service is described for creating a tunneled path between a client and a server (e.g., over a firewall or other data/protocol filtering device). According to one embodiment of the invention the client sends the server an initial request to open a preliminary socket connection which includes a secure client ID previously assigned to the client. The server opens the preliminary socket connection, generates a random client ID and transmits the random client ID to the client. The preliminary socket connection is then closed. The client then sends a second request to open a second socket connection using both the unique ID and the secure client ID for authentication purposes.
