Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for creating a dictionary-free index. An embodiment operates by a database maintaining database table comprises a column and a row. The database creates a concatenated string index comprising a concatenated string value based on the database column's row. The database also creates a hash value list having a hash value based on the concatenation string index's concatenated string value. Thereafter, the database creates a directory having a pointer to (i) a row position of the hash value list or (ii) a row position of a collision list having the row position of the hash value in the hash value list. The database also creates a collision list containing the row positions of the hash values occurring multiple times in the hash value list. The index for the database table includes the hash value list, the directory, and the collision list.

Abstract: Lock table management is provided for a lock manager of a database system, in which lock management is provided in a manner that is fast and efficient, and that conserves processing, memory, and other computational resources. For example, the lock table management can use a hashmap in which keys and values are stored in separate arrays, which can be loaded into separate CPU cache lines.

Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for defining metadata artefacts and, using a framework, which can be referred to as a decorator framework, updating data artefacts. The data artefacts can be artefacts in a virtual data model, such as data artefacts representing views that can correspond to a view, or one or more tables, of a relational database system. A metadata artefact can include semantic elements, such as annotations, that are processable by the decorator framework in updating data artefacts. Annotations can specify an operation type, such as to include, remove, replace, or synchronize, for content a metadata artefact, where the operation will be carried out on data artefacts to which the metadata artefact is applied and which contain specified content. Multiple metadata artefacts can be applied to a given data artefact, and a given metadata artefact can be applied to multiple data artefacts.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, from a first document management system, a first request to store a document in a blockchain enabled data store including multiple blockchain platforms. In response to the first request, the document may be converted from a first format associated with the document management system to a portable binary code format (e.g., WebAssembly format) before being sent to one of the blockchain platforms. A second request to access the document may be received from a second document management system. In response to the second request, the document in the portable binary code format may be retrieved from the blockchain platform, converted to a second to a second format associated with the second document management system, and sent to the second document management system. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives from an application a set of data objects for transmission to a computing system. The set of data objects have a type. The program further identifies a data handler definition from a plurality of data handler definitions based on the type of the set of data objects. Each data handler definition in the plurality of data handler definitions specifies a type of data object and a communication protocol. The program also transmits the set of data objects to the computing system using the communication protocol specified in the identified data handler definition.

Abstract: Techniques are described for managing the optimized refreshing of metadata associated with online and live systems. In some implementations, a set of metadata modules associated with one or more entities are identified, the metadata modules defining metadata associated with a particular data model for the associated entities. A request to initiate a refreshing of the metadata for a subset of the set of metadata modules is identified. Each metadata module from the subset of the set of metadata modules is prioritized into a prioritization order. A determination is made as to whether two or more idle database connections are available. In response to determining that two or more idle database connections are available, a concurrent refresh of the subset of the set of metadata modules is initialized in the prioritization order.

Accordingly, software setup for a new entity is automated based on the software setup selections of similar entities.

Abstract: Technologies are described for determining possible routes using pre-processing operations. The pre-processing operations determine possible routes from an origin location to a destination location by dynamically generating representations of the transportation networks at runtime. For example, the pre-processing operations can dynamically determine a geographic area, and/or multiple sub-areas, that covers the origin location and the destination location. Possible routes from the origin location to the destination location can then be determined using only those locations within the geographic area and/or sub-areas. The locations that make up the possible routes can be provided for route optimization that utilizes transportation schedules and/or additional transportation requirements.

Abstract: Technologies are described for determining route proposals for shipment of cargo using unique location identifiers (ULIs). For example, a pickup ULI and a delivery ULI can be received. The pickup ULI and the delivery ULI are in the ULI data structure format defined herein. A first geographic area representing a pickup leg can be determined for shipment of the cargo from the pickup ULI to a first transportation network location and a second geographic area representing a delivery leg can be determined for shipment of the cargo from a second transportation network location to the delivery ULI. The main leg of the shipment occurs between the first transportation network location and the second transportation network location and travels through one or more defined transportation networks. Route proposals can be generated for shipment of the cargo through the pickup leg, main leg, and/or delivery leg.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system associated with predictive analytics may include a data filter dictionary that stores a plurality of electronic data records based on prior input data. A data filtering and noise reduction module may receive input data and access the data filter dictionary. The data filtering and noise reduction module may then utilize data from the data filter dictionary and a latent semantic indexing data filter and noise reduction algorithm to remove information from the input data and create a subset of the input data. A predictive analytic algorithm platform may receive the subset of input data and use a predictive analytic algorithm to output a prediction result. An intelligent loop-back mechanism may then receive the subset of the input data and dynamically update the data filter dictionary based on an impact associated with the output prediction result.

Abstract: A method for transporting configuration data may include determining that a customization created at a development system for a software application is being deployed at a production system hosting the software application. In response, a transport request including the customization may be verified to determine whether errors are present in the transport request. The errors may include dependent data that is required to deploy the customization at the production system being absent from the transport request. If errors are present in the transport request, a request for a corrected transport request may be sent to the development system. The customization included in the corrected transport request may be deployed at the production system by applying, to a configuration of the software application, the customization included in the corrected transport request. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
