  • Publication number: 20240089341
    Abstract: When a request for accessing a service is received, a user object may be stored in a long-term data store, as well as in a short-term cache. The cache may be divided into a regular cache that stores full versions of the user objects, and a surrogate cache that stores compact versions of the user object. The compact version of the user object may include a field that is derived from the full user object indicating whether a subsequent request for access to a particular service should be granted. After access is granted/denied based on this value in the compact user object, the system can process an update to the full user object offline. This surrogate cache structure may be used to rapidly approve/deny requests, decoupling this procedure from the processing involved with a full user object.

  • Patent number: 11928097
    Abstract: Efficiently implemented herein is a deterministic semantic for property updates by graph queries. Mechanisms of determinism herein ensure data consistency for graph mutation. These mechanisms facilitate optimistic execution of graph access despite a potential data access conflict. This approach may include various combinations of special activities such as detecting potential conflicts during query compile time, applying query transformations to eliminate those conflicts during code generation where possible, and executing updates in an optimistic way that safely fails if determinism cannot be guaranteed. In an embodiment, a computer receives a request to modify a graph. The request to modify the graph is optimistically executed after preparation and according to safety precautions as presented herein. Based on optimistically executing the request, a data access conflict actually occurs and is automatically detected.

  • Patent number: 11921785
    Abstract: Techniques described herein allow a user of an RDBMS to specify a graph algorithm function (GAF) declaration, which defines a graph algorithm that takes a graph object as input and returns a logical graph object as output. A database dictionary stores the GAF declaration, which allows addition of GAFs without changing the RDBMS kernel. GAFs are used within graph queries to compute output properties of property graph objects. Output properties are accessible in the enclosing graph pattern matching query, and are live for the duration of the query cursor execution. According to various embodiments, the declaration of a GAF includes a DESCRIBE function, used for semantic analysis of the GAF, and an EXECUTE function, which defines the operations performed by the GAF. Furthermore, composition of GAFs in a graph query is done by supplying, as the input graph argument of an outer GAF, the result of an inner GAF.

  • Patent number: 11921722
    Abstract: Herein are techniques for dynamic aggregation of results of a database request, including concurrent grouping of result items in memory based on quasi-dense keys. Each of many computational threads concurrently performs as follows. A hash code is calculated that represents a particular natural grouping key (NGK) for an aggregate result of a database request. Based on the hash code, the thread detects that a set of distinct NGKs that are already stored in the aggregate result does not contain the particular NGK. A distinct dense grouping key for the particular NGK is statefully generated. The dense grouping key is bound to the particular NGK. Based on said binding, the particular NGK is added to the set of distinct NGKs in the aggregate result.

  • Patent number: 11921726
    Abstract: Techniques for storing and processing large volumes of data by increasing the number of partitions that customers can allocate and use for their streams while minimizing the physical footprint of the partitions is disclosed. In certain examples, the stream partitions are created as different logical partitions on a physical partition in a physical storage cluster of a distributed message streaming system. The disclosed system provides an improved process for reading messages stored in different logical partitions of a physical partition by identifying partition chunks in a physical partition that comprise subsets of messages associated with a logical partition and filtering out partition chunks that do not contain messages associated with the logical partition. The disclosed system reduces the amount of the physical partition that needs to be read to retrieve messages stored in different logical partitions thereby improving the overall performance of the distributed message streaming system.

  • Patent number: 11921848
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that characterizes susceptibility of an inferential model to follow signal degradation. During operation, the system receives a set of time-series signals associated with sensors in a monitored system during normal fault-free operation. Next, the system trains the inferential model using the set of time-series signals. The system then characterizes susceptibility of the inferential model to follow signal degradation. During this process, the system adds degradation to a signal in the set of time-series signals to produce a degraded signal. Next, the system uses the inferential model to perform prognostic-surveillance operations on the set of time-series signals with the degraded signal. Finally, the system characterizes susceptibility of the inferential model to follow degradation in the signal based on results of the prognostic-surveillance operations.

  • Patent number: 11922238
    Abstract: A parametric constant resolves to different values in different contexts, but a single value within a particular context. An anchor constant is a parametric constant that allows for a degree of parametricity for an API point. The context for the anchor constant is provided by a caller to the API point. The anchor constant resolves to an anchor value that records specialization decisions for the API point within the provided context. Specialization decisions may include type restrictions, memory layout, and/or memory size. The anchor value together with an unspecialized type of the API point result in a specialized type of the API point. A class object representing the specialized type is created. The class object may be accessible to the caller, but the full value of the anchor value is not accessible to the caller. The API point is executed based on the specialization decisions embodied in the anchor value.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein include frameworks and models for identifying, analyzing, and addressing hangs within distributed and heterogenous computing environments. A hang detection framework may model a distributed computing environment as a complex forest of interrelated requests. The hang detection framework may generate hang graphs based upon requests that are being processed and/or waited upon within the distributed environment. For example, a node within an acyclic graph may represent an execution entity that is currently processing one or more requests. Directed edges that connect one node to another may represent requests upon which an execution entity is waiting for another execution node to fulfill. The model may be used to isolate and address the root cause of hangs within the computing environment.
