Abstract: Technologies are described for facilitating database system recovery in a distributed database environment having a master node and at least one slave node. The master node maintains an in-memory reference that includes transaction identifiers and their corresponding commit identifiers. When a slave node requests that a commit identifier be assigned to a transaction, the transaction and commit identifiers for the transaction are added to the in-memory reference. The commit identifier is sent by the master node to the slave node. The slave node writes a log entry to a commit log that includes the transaction identifier and the assigned commit identifier. If the database system is interrupted before the slave node writes the commit log entry, the slave node can request the commit identifier for the transaction from the master node, which retrieves the identifier from the in-memory reference.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer-implemented methods for certifying applications for execution in cloud computing systems. An example method includes identifying an application for execution in a cloud computing system; determining a set of application characteristics associated with the application based at least in part on an automatic analysis of the application; determining whether the application is suitable to be executed in the cloud computing system based at least in part on the determined set of application characteristics; and in response to determining that the application is suitable for use in the cloud computing system, storing the application and at least a portion of the determined set of application characteristics in an application repository.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a transport management application is executing in the application layer. User may place orders by specifying order data in a user interface of the transport management application, and initiate calculate charges to calculate transportation charges for the orders. Based on the initiation, the charge calculation function is invoked in the application layer. Charge calculation function reads the order data specified in the user interface, and invokes charge computation engine in an in-memory database. Orders are split and grouped based on number of dimensions in a rate table. Charge computation engine looks up master data and computes transportation charges for the grouped orders in parallel. After the charge computation engine determines the transportation charges for the orders, sum of the transportation charges is returned to the application layer.

Abstract: Disclosed is an effective and efficient compression system and technique for large amount of data. The data compression is particularly useful for compressing locational data. The compressed locational data is efficient and effective in tracing a moving object. By selecting appropriate input compression parameters, the accuracy and efficiency of the data compression can be tailored to the needs of the user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for embedding information in a video feed. An embodiment operates by analyzing a video frame from a video feed to detect features of a playing field in the video frame and generate a camera projection matrix based on a model of the playing field and the detected features. Converting positional information associated with players shown in the video feed using the camera projection matrix. Mapping the positional information associated with the players to a display.

Abstract: Partitioning of source partitions of a table of a database to target partitions is initiated. Thereafter, a transition partition specification is specified that identifies the source partitions and the target partitions. Data is then moved (e.g., asynchronously moved, etc.) from the source partitions to the target partitions. Concurrently with the moving of the data, operates are handled using the transition partition specification. Subsequently, the source partitions are dropped when all of the data has been moved to the target partitions and there are no open transactions accessing the source partitions. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: In one aspect, a computer-implemented method comprises obtaining, in a business rule management application, a selection of one or more in-memory database objects, obtaining, in the business rule management application, a definition of one or more business rules, generating a business rule management application object, wherein the business rule management application object includes a representation of the one or more business rules and a representation of one or more results of the application of the one or more business rules on the one or more in-memory database objects, the method further comprising providing the business rule management application object for storage in the in-memory database.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for retrieving data from database are described herein. A query is received at a user application connected with a database system. The received query may be referred as a user request to retrieve data from database tables stored in the database. The query is processed and analyzed to interpret the user request for retrieving the requisite data. A return set is retrieved from the database based on the received query. Once, the required data is fetched from the database, the return set having the requisite data may be free from duplicate columns that is sent to the user application.

Abstract: Systems, software, and computer-implemented methods for providing context-aware application status indicators are used to provide visual appearances and indications representing transitions between states in a software program. One example method includes displaying an animated image associated with a first state of a software program, the animated image having one or more attributes controlling a visual appearance of the displayed animated image; detecting a transition from the first state to a second state different than the first state by the software program; and in response to detecting the transition, updating one or more of the attributes of the displayed animated image to implement a change to the visual appearance of the displayed animated image, wherein the change to the visual appearance of the displayed animated image is associated with the transition from the first state to the second state.

Abstract: Context tracing may be implemented by modifying a call to parameterize, and thereby govern, logging operations of a called software application or program. Resulting messages of the logging operations are stored in a manner that facilitates fast identification and retrieval of the messages. Accordingly, accurate identification of errors or sub-optimal operations of the called software application or program is enabled, thereby enabling correction and/or optimization of operations of the called program.

Abstract: Provided are devices and methods for generating and displaying a table chart in which numerical values are replaced by objects. In one example, a method includes receiving a data table including a 2D array of cells storing numerical values, generating a table chart including a 2D array of cells visually depicting a relationship between the numerical values in the data table wherein the table chart represents the numerical values as objects in the table chart, and a size of an object varies based on a numerical value from the data table that is represented by the respective object in comparison to remaining numerical values from the data table that are represented by remaining objects, and displaying the table chart via a user interface. The generated table chart provides a quicker understanding of a relationship between values in a data table.
