Abstract: A system and method are disclosed to facilitate exploratory data analytics for an enterprise. A storage area network, for a column-oriented relational database management system, may contain electronic records that store enterprise information. A query engine may receive, from a user via an interactive user interface, query parameters associated with the enterprise information. The query engine may then automatically generate an approximate query for exploratory data analytics using query-time sampling, the approximate query being associated with at least one of: (1) a stratified sampler with randomized row access, and (2) a hash-based, outlier aware join sampler. The approximate query may then be executed in connection with the enterprise information in the storage area network, and results of the executed approximate query may be provided to the user via the user interface.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for verifying encrypted data provider data on a public storage medium. One example method includes receiving a verification request to verify encrypted data provider data stored on a public storage medium. Public storage medium entries relevant to the verification request are identified and retrieved. A homomorphic cryptosystem is used to homomorphically calculate a first encrypted target function result based on encrypted data provider data. The homomorphic cryptosystem and a verifying entity cryptosystem are used to re-encrypt the first encrypted target function result to generate a second encrypted target function result that is encrypted under the verifying entity cryptosystem and not encrypted under the homomorphic cryptosystem.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for predicting leading indicators for predicting occurrence of an event at a target asset. Rather than rely on traditional manufacturer-defined leading indicators for an asset, the examples herein predict leading indicators for a target asset based on actual operating conditions at the target asset. Accordingly, unanticipated operating conditions can be considered. In one example, the method may include receiving operating data of a target resource, the operating data being associated with previous occurrences of an event at the target resource, predicting one or more leading indicators of the event at the target resource based on the received operating data, each leading indicator comprising a variable and a threshold value for the variable, and outputting information about the one or more predicted leading indicators of the target resource for display via a user interface.

Abstract: A rule is received at a client application from an input text control. The received rule includes a sequence of characters and is parsed into a plurality of tokens. For each of the tokens, a plurality of behaviors associated with that token are configured to generate a behavior configuration. Each of the generated behavior configurations can be modified by an authorized user. A user interface (UI) control is generated based on the behavior configurations.

Abstract: RTR of a database transaction to a replica table may include receiving replication and transaction commit log entries (representing a database transaction). The replication log entry has a row-ID value, and the row at the replica table has a row-ID value. The replication log entry may be dispatched to a parallel log replayer and the associated transaction commit log entry to a transaction commit log replayer. The row-ID values may be compared, and the replication log entry is replayed at the parallel log replayer based on the comparison. The database transaction may then be committed to the replica table by replaying the associated transaction commit log entry at the transaction log replayer, wherein the database transaction is associated with row-level parallel replay having transactional consistency and DDL replication and reconstruction of a DDL statement at the replica system is associated with one or multiple metadata update log entries.

Abstract: A system and method for faster access for compressed time series data. A set of blocks are generated based on a table stored in a database of the data platform. The table stores data associated with multiple sources of data provided as consecutive values, each block containing index vectors having a range of the consecutive values. A block index is generated for each block having a field start vector representing a starting position of the block relative to the range of consecutive values, and a starting value vector representing a value of the block at the starting position. The field start vector of the block index is accessed to obtain the starting position of a field corresponding to a first block and to the range of the consecutive values of the first block. The starting value vector is then determined from the block index to determine an end and a length of the field of the first block.

In response to the indication, the trained machine-learning model may be applied to generate a recommendation to perform, as part of the process flow, an action to generate a second document object. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
