Abstract: According to a disclosed embodiment, data analysis is secured with a microservice architecture and data anonymization in a multitenant application. Tenant data is received by a first microservice in a multitenant application. The tenant data is isolated from other tenant data in the first microservice and stored separately from other tenant data in a tenant database. The tenant data is anonymized in the first microservice and thereafter provided to a second microservice. The second microservice stores the anonymized tenant data in an analytics database. The second microservice, upon request, analyzes anonymized tenant data from a plurality of tenants from the analytics database and provides an analytics result to the first microservice.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure pertains to testing. In one embodiment, software tests are performed on a first software server. Tests may be repeated a plurality of times to check for consistent failures or passes. Test results are sent to a second software server. The test results are stored in one or more databases on the second software server, where particular test results are associated with one or more fields specifying whether the test was passed and whether the test was failed. Tests that were both passed and failed may be deemed “flaky” tests. The second software server may generate a query to retrieve test results from the database that both passed and failed at least one test (flaky tests). Flaky tests may be quickly retrieved and processed.

Abstract: Described herein is a technology which facilitates an effective and efficient management of a data center. In one implementation, the data center includes a container cloud manager which embeds container framework, such as Docker framework to manage App images and containers of the data center. An App image is packed back to a container which starts when the App image is requested. The use of container is lightweight and starts fast, avoiding the need for installation of the App. Furthermore, the data center is a distributed management system, which includes multiple copies of an App image as well as multiple copies of the cloud container manager. This ensures continuous operation of the data center.

Abstract: Image color data for a field of view is received. Thereafter, color segmentation can be performed on the image color data to define at least one bounding polygon that minimizes an amount of free space within each bounding polygon. The at least one bounding polygon is then used to crop the image color data to result in cropped image color data. Image processing can then be applied to the cropped image color data to identify at least one object therein. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Methods and system are disclosed that manage behavior of a graphical user interface associated with an application during a runtime of the application. In one aspect, the graphical user interface (GUI) may be configured with attributes associated with the application by a GUI configuration manager. Upon determining application configuration information, a data field metadata manager may determine data fields to be mapped onto the GUI. The data field metadata manager may read the metadata information associated with the data fields that may include data field attributes and domain values. A GUI metadata manager may retrieve metadata information associated with the mapped data fields. A GUI runtime manager may manage the behavior of the GUI and the data received by the data fields may be saved in a data store in a data format associated with the application.

Abstract: Improved techniques for processing machine data are disclosed. Embodiments are operable to receive machine data input, interpret its meaning, and then represent that meaning in a knowledge base that grows over time with each new entry. The knowledge base enables extension of both syntax and lexicon, which are the main determinants of meaning. As new entries are added, the knowledge in the knowledge base grows. Over time, the knowledge base acquires more meaning. The disclosed machine data processing system includes entry type recognition, mapping entry types to semantic events, and building entries in the knowledge base based on the semantic event-entry type mapping. Data generated by this process may be used to conduct searches for patterns of semantic events across multiple different machine data sources. This information may then be used to perform useful work such as detecting security threats, identifying operational problems, or tracking customer purchases, etc.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for optimizing in-memory column based database table compression. A system may receive a parsed in-memory columnar database table as an input and reads an aggregated compression score from memory corresponding to the parsed database table. A total compression score may be computed iteratively for the database table in order to determine whether the total compression score is greater than the aggregated compression score. When the total compression score determined to be greater than the aggregated compression score, the aggregated compression score is assigned to a best compression score. To optimize in-memory database table compression, the given database table may be compressed using the best compression score.

Abstract: Technologies are described for facilitating transaction processing within a database environment having first, second, and third database system nodes. In the database system, the first database system node receives from the second database system node a request to precommit a first database transaction. The first database system node stores information for the first database transaction that includes an indication that the second database system node coordinates the committing of the first database transaction. The first database system node receives from the third database system node a request to precommit a second database transaction. The first database system node stores information for the second database transaction that includes an indication that the third database system node coordinates the committing of the second database transaction.

The translated translatable user interface element in the user interface of the web application is rendered.

Abstract: Innovations for adaptive compression and decompression for dictionaries of a column-store database can reduce the amount of memory used for columns of the database, allowing a system to keep column data in memory for more columns, while delays for access operations remain acceptable. For example, dictionary compression variants use different compression techniques and implementation options. Some dictionary compression variants provide more aggressive compression (reduced memory consumption) but result in slower run-time performance. Other dictionary compression variants provide less aggressive compression (higher memory consumption) but support faster run-time performance. As another example, a compression manager can automatically select a dictionary compression variant for a given column in a column-store database.
