  • Patent number: 11966356
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing latency of probing operations of remotely located linear hash tables are described herein. In an embodiment, a system receives a request to perform a probing operation on a remotely located linear hash table based on a key value. Prior to performing the probing operation, the system dynamically predicts a number of slots for a single read of the linear hash table to minimize total cost for an average probing operation. The system determines a hash value based on the key value and determines a slot of the linear hash table to which the hash value corresponds. After predicting the number of slots, the system issues an RDMA request to perform a read of the predicted number of slots from the linear hash table starting at the slot to which the hash value corresponds.

  • Patent number: 11941004
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media for performing various actions for bringing data stores into compliance with a policy. The actions include generating a global scan index (“scan index”) for SAS® software and using the scan index to handle data management operations. Unlike traditional B-tree indices that consume a larger quantity of resources to parse through data, the scan indices may include a table of three columns. A first column may include an indication of a search value, a second column may include an indication of what table(s) in the data store(s) include the requested value, and a third column may include an indication of the row number for the tables in column two in which the value resides. The actions further include batching requests to perform a data management operation on data of a certain category by employing the scan index.

  • Patent number: 11914580
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed that pertain to deploying immutable instances of a system. A computer system may maintain an active generation value that indicates an immutable instance of a database system that is permitted to write data to a database. The computer system may deploy a first immutable instance of the database system and update the active generation value to permit the first immutable instance to write data to the database. The computer system may receive a request to deploy a second immutable instance of the database system that includes an update not found in the first immutable instance. The computer system may deploy the second immutable instance and update the active generation value to cause the first immutable instance to cease writing data to the database and to permit the second immutable instance to write data to the database.

  • Patent number: 11861032
    Abstract: A differentially private security system communicatively coupled to a database storing restricted data receives a database query from a client. The database query includes an operation, a target accuracy, and a maximum privacy spend for the query. The system performs the operation to produce a result, then injects the result with noise sampled from a Laplace distribution to produce a differentially private result. The system iteratively calibrates the noise value of the differentially private result using a secondary distribution different from the Laplace distribution and a new fractional privacy spend. The system ceases to iterate when an iteration uses the maximum privacy spend or a relative error of the differentially private result is determined to satisfy the target accuracy, or both. The system sends the differentially private result to the client.

  • Patent number: 11860894
    Abstract: In response to identifying an update operation for a system table of a DBMS, a row that corresponds to the update operation is identified using a partial image of the update operation. A before image that corresponds to the row is gathered and a new before image of the row that reflects the update operation is generated by overlaying the before image with the partial image. In response to identifying a delete operation that relates to the system table, a row of the system table that corresponds to the delete operation is identified using an identifier of the delete operation. A before image that corresponds to this row is gathered. A new before image of the row of the system table that reflects the delete operation is generated by applying the delete operation to this before image.

  • Patent number: 11803527
    Abstract: Data deduplication techniques may use a fingerprint hash table and a backend location hash table in connection with performing operations including fingerprint insertion, fingerprint deletion and fingerprint lookup. Processing I/O operations may include: receiving a write operation that writes data to a target logical address; determining a fingerprint for the data; querying the fingerprint hash table using the fingerprint to determine a matching entry of the fingerprint hash table for the fingerprint; and responsive to determining that the fingerprint hash table does not have the matching entry that matches the fingerprint, performing processing including: inserting a first entry in the fingerprint hash table, wherein the first entry includes the fingerprint for the data and identifies a storage location at which the data is stored; and inserting a second entry in a backend location hash table, wherein the second entry references the first entry.

  • Patent number: 11789968
    Abstract: Methods and systems for accessing, maintaining, analyzing, and visualizing structured data are presented. The system receives from a requesting computing device, a first request for a first hierarchical record. The system searches a first repository having first structured data. The system determines whether the first hierarchical record is present in the first structured data and creates, based on the first hierarchical record, a snapshot query criterion. The system then searches, based on the snapshot query criterion, a second repository comprising a first snapshot of the first structured data. The system determines whether a second hierarchical record at least partially matches the first hierarchical record.

  • Patent number: 11741120
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for providing a remote data gateway that supports peer routing for use with an analytics environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a data analytics remote data gateway server connects to on-premise data clients, via remote data gateway agents. If a remote data gateway server cannot reach a particular data client at its remote data gateway agent, then it can determine which other clients it can get requests from. To address this, the system can use a process of inverse proxy peer-to-peer routing—if a client has a request to be processed, but the server has not yet called into that client, then the client can hand off the request to a peer remote data gateway server, and the server can retrieve/process that request from that server operating as a proxy.

  • Patent number: 11687513
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to managing virtual data sources (VDSs), including creating and using VDSs. A virtual data source manager (VDSM) that is executing on a computer system may receive a VDS creation request to create a particular VDS. The VDS creation request may include information that is usable to identify a data origin of the particular VDS and an ingestion routine. The VDSM may use the ingestion routine to create the particular VDS that includes a bitmap index that is representative of data stored at the origin. In response to a data request corresponding to the origin, the particular VDS may be used to initiate a query to the particular VDS for data without accessing the origin. The VDSM may further maintain various software plugins that are executable to perform corresponding functions in relation to the VDSM and the VDSs managed by the VDSM.
