  • Patent number: 10936657
    Abstract: In some examples, a computer receives event data relating to events of a system, and builds a graph comprising nodes representing respective values of attributes of the events, and edges between the nodes, each respective edge of the edges representing co-occurrence of values of attributes represented by nodes connected by the respective edge. The computer computes edge weights of corresponding edges of the edges, and identifies paths in the graph, where each path of the paths comprises two or more nodes and a corresponding edge or edges. The computer determines an affinity among the values of the attributes based on a shortest path determining process that uses the edge weights for distances of the identified paths, and resolves an anomaly in the system based on the determined affinity.

  • Patent number: 10936630
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for inferring topics from a file containing both audio and video, for example a multimodal or multimedia file, in order to facilitate video indexing. A set of entities is extracted from the file and linked to produce a graph, and reference information is also obtained for the set of entities. Entities may be drawn, for example, from Wikipedia categories, or other large ontological data sources. Analysis of the graph, using unsupervised learning, permits determining clusters in the graph. Extracting features from the clusters, possibly using supervised learning, provides for selection of topic identifiers. The topic identifiers are then used for indexing the file.

  • Patent number: 10866966
    Abstract: Example systems and methods for cloning catalog objects are described. In one implementation, a method identifies an original catalog object associated with data and creates a duplicate copy of the original catalog object without copying the data itself. The method allows access to the data using the duplicate catalog object and supports modifying the data associated with the original catalog object independently of the duplicate catalog object. The duplicate catalog object can be deleted upon completion of modifying the data associated with the original catalog object.

  • Patent number: 10860556
    Abstract: Architecture that includes an index creation algorithm that utilizes available resources and dynamically adjusts to successfully scale with increased resources and be able to do so for any data distribution. The resources can be processing resources, memory, and/or input/output, for example. A finer level of granularity, called a segment, is utilized to process tuples in a partition while creating an index. The segment also aligns with compression techniques for the index. By choosing an appropriate size for a segment and using load balancing the overall time for index creation can be reduced. Each segment can then be processed by a single thread thereby limiting segment skew. Skew is further limited by breaking down the work done by a thread into parallelizable stages.

  • Patent number: 10846180
    Abstract: An improved content indexing (CI) system is disclosed herein. For example, the improved CI system may include a distributed architecture of client computing devices, media agents, a single backup and CI database, and a pool of servers. After a file backup occurs, the backup and CI database may include file metadata indices and other information associated with backed up files. Servers in the pool of servers may, in parallel, query the backup and CI database for a list of files assigned to the respective server that have not been content indexed. The servers may then request a media agent to restore the assigned files from secondary storage and provide the restored files to the servers. The servers may then content index the received restored files. Once the content indexing is complete, the servers can send the content index information to the backup and CI database for storage.

  • Patent number: 10824750
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing access to a database in a multi-tenant environment, including the use of a connection pool, and support for efficient connection validation. For example, the system can support a “seconds to trust idle connection” functionality, which enables lazy validation of connections in the connection pool. The seconds to trust idle connection is the time period, expressed, for example, as a number of seconds, within a particular connection usage, that the connection pool trusts that the connection is still viable, and if so will skip a connection validation test before delivering the connection to a requesting application.
