  • Publication number: 20190356755
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives, from an application, a request to schedule a notification. The program further generates a pending notification. The program also stores the pending notification in a queue. The program further periodically iterates through the queue to check whether an expiration time of the pending notification has elapsed. Upon determining that the expiration time of the pending notification has elapsed, the program also deletes the pending notification from the queue without processing the pending notification. Upon receiving from the application a second set of interactions performed on the application that matches the defined set of interactions specified in the pending notification, the program further processes the pending notification by sending the recipient specified in the pending notification a notification comprising the message specified in the pending notification.

  • Patent number: 10482103
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for managing replication of metadata in a master-slave database environment. While metadata is managed on a master node using database tables with transaction guarantees, metadata copies on the slave node are managed using a lightweight key-value store. In exemplary embodiments, master metadata database tables are mapped to respective key-value structures at one or more slave nodes. The key-value structures have entries pointing to respective metadata objects, which include copies of metadata items stored in the master metadata database tables. The key-value structures can be hierarchically organized under a parent key-value structure. Metadata object versions can be organized as a linked list to facilitate multi-version concurrency control. Methods are disclosed for building the key-value store, for retrieving metadata from the store, for updating the store, for providing multi-version concurrency control, and for pruning obsolete metadata versions. Variants are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10474435
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for creating and using template constraint expressions in constraint-based systems. Template constraint expressions can be created that can be used to define multiple usages of a same constraint rule in a configuration model. Using the template constraint expression, the constraint rule can be translated once and used multiple times as different instances of the rule are activated. Updates to the rule can be made to the template constraint expression and applied to all of the related instances. Constraint expressions can be created based on the template constraint expression. Configuration rule definitions in a configuration model definition can be parsed to create graphical representations of the configuration model definition. One or more of the graphical representations can be used to create a template constraint expression. Multiple object instances in the configuration model can be identified that satisfy matching criteria of the template constraint expression.

  • Patent number: 10474928
    Abstract: In an example, a computerized neural fabric is created by representing each pattern of learned weights of one or more machine learning algorithm-trained models specifying a specific set of products as a column in the computerized neural fabric, each pattern comprising one or more clusters representing combinations of convolutional filters, each cluster learning low level features and sending output via a vertical flow up the corresponding column to a final classification within the corresponding pattern. One or more potential lateral flows between patterns in the computerized neural fabrics is dynamically determined based on resemblance of a new product in a candidate image to the specific sets of products in each of the patterns and identifying possible mutations of the patterns based on the resemblance. Then, one of the one or more potential lateral flows is selected as a new model.
