  • Patent number: 11593892
    Abstract: Improved technological solutions are introduced for providing a secure and effective and enhanced clustering/grouping solution that is useful, for example, in an online dating forum as well as any number of other industries. The ability to attend live events in person or remotely is coupled with presence location and automatic verification of user devices and identities. This allows secured communication between participants without having to disclose actual contact information of the participants or their device addresses. An improved algorithm that groups members/items effectively based on a variety of matching criteria, with lowered possibilities of errors and more efficient use of processing power, is now introduced.

  • Patent number: 11593308
    Abstract: In some examples, a system may determine a mountpoint included in a first filesystem for mounting a userspace filesystem. For instance, the userspace filesystem may be executable in a userspace provided by an operating system. The system may determine a bind mount path for a mount path corresponding to the mountpoint. The system may bind mount, to the determined bind mount path, at least a portion of a second filesystem associated with the mount path corresponding to the mountpoint. In addition, the system may mount the userspace filesystem at the mountpoint, and may incorporate data from the second filesystem into the userspace filesystem through the bind mount path.

  • Patent number: 11550834
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing platform implementing a data set discovery engine and a data set valuation engine. The data set discovery engine is configured to generate data set similarity measures each relating a corresponding one of a plurality of data sets to one or more other ones of the plurality of data sets. The data set valuation engine is coupled to the data set discovery engine and configured to generate valuation measures for respective ones of at least a subset of the plurality of data sets based at least in part on respective ones of the data set similarity measures generated by the data set discovery engine. For example, the data set valuation engine may generate the valuation measure for a given data set as a function of valuation measures previously generated for respective other data sets determined to exhibit at least a threshold similarity to the given data set.

  • Patent number: 11520665
    Abstract: An intelligent method of handling incremental backups concurrent with load balancing movement. The file system uses placement tags, incremental backup requests and capacity balancing data movement to make intelligent decision to avoid affecting any backup windows for clients or backup apps. The file system tracks capacity balancing file movements inside the cluster. When switching locations of files in a cluster from one node to another, it is performed as an atomic change of switching inode attributes by the file system after the contents of the file have been copied over to the new node. During the file movement for capacity balancing, the file system handles requests for full backups differently than requests for incremental backups. The file system continues to handle virtual systhesis and fastcopy requests on the node that hosts the previous backup to ensure that the incremental backup succeeds with the expected smaller backup window from the client.

  • Patent number: 11475024
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for processing ingested data, detecting anomalies in the ingested data, and providing explanations of a possible cause of the detected anomalies as the data is being ingested. For example, a token or field in the ingested data may have an anomalous value. Tokens or fields from another portion of the ingested data can be extracted and analyzed to determine whether there is any correlation between the values of the extracted tokens or fields and the anomalous token or field having an anomalous value. If a correlation is detected, this information can be surfaced to a user.

  • Patent number: 11468063
    Abstract: The subject technology provides information, corresponding to properties of a build side of a join operation, to a bloom filter. The subject technology, based at least in part on the information from the bloom filter, determines, during executing of a query plan, at least one property of the join operation to determine whether to switch an aggregation operator to a pass through mode, the at least one property comprising at least a reduction rate. The subject technology, switches, in response to the reduction rate being below a threshold value, the aggregation operator to the pass through mode during runtime of the query plan and, while the aggregation operator is in the pass through mode, an input stream of data goes through the aggregation operator without being analyzed and the input stream of data matches an output stream of data flowing out of the aggregation operator.

  • Patent number: 11468068
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to a method and system generating a data sketch. A plurality of local data sketches are generated, wherein for each local data sketch, it is determined whether a propagation condition is satisfied. In response to the condition being satisfied, the local data sketch is processed when a synchronization parameter satisfies a criterion. The synchronization parameter is set to a predetermined value to enable propagation of the local data sketch to the data sketch. Upon the local data sketch being propagated to the data sketch, the above steps are repeated.

  • Patent number: 11468013
    Abstract: Content items queued for synchronization between a client device and a content management system can be automatically prioritized to improve the sharing process. That is, the content items can be prioritized based on whether a share link has been created to the content item. A share link can enable a user to access the shared content item from a content management system. Content items that have been shared using a share link can be given higher priority to be synchronized prior to content items that have not been shared. The queued content items can be synchronized in the synchronization order resulting from the prioritization. Further, multiple shared content items queued for synchronization can be sub-prioritized based on one or more sub-prioritization criteria.

  • Patent number: 11468012
    Abstract: A garbage collection assisted deduplication process determines whether or not data segments should be deduplicated or not based on the liveness of segment data in a region, and the number of segments subject to deduplication in the region. Ingested data is divided into a plurality of segments, and a fingerprint is calculated for each segment. An index table entry maps a fingerprint to a region and container ID, and a perfect hash vector is setup for this mapping. A percentage of live segments in the region relative to a liveness threshold is determined, as is a number of segments in the region subject to deduplication relative to a deduplication threshold. If a region is sufficiently live, deduplication is performed, but if the region is dead, deduplication is not performed. For a live region, if the number of deduplicated segments is too low, deduplication is not performed.
