Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for searching encrypted data. A search query containing a plaintext key can be received from a client device or other application. A request can then be sent to a storage engine for a ciphertext key of a node of a binary tree, the node representing an encrypted key-value pair that includes the ciphertext key. The ciphertext key can be decrypted using a cryptographic key to generate a decrypted ciphertext key. Then, the decrypted ciphertext key can be compared to the plaintext key. A determination can then be made as to whether the encrypted key-value pair represented by the node of the binary tree satisfies the search query based at least in part on a comparison of the decrypted ciphertext key to the plaintext key.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for individually deploying batch functions in a cluster computing environment. A batch function system may receive a scheduled batch job for execution at a particular timing. Rather than deploying the corresponding batch functions as a bundled monolith, the batch function system may individually deploy corresponding batch functions. To individually deploy the batch functions, the batch function system may use a verticle data structure for defining a batch job. The batch function system may then execute a batch function corresponding to the batch job on a cluster computing platform by deploying the batch function to a pod executing on computing nodes. Upon individual completion of execution, the batch function system may release the pod and/or computing nodes to make the computing resources available. The batch function system may also preserve and pass data between pods executing batch functions.
