Abstract: A collaborative content management system allows for the mutual-synchronization of content within a spreadsheet and within a document in which a set of spreadsheet cells are embedded. When a user modifies the embedded set of cells, the spreadsheet is updated to reflect the modification. A set of tasks, for instance each associated with descriptive text and one or more interactive elements, can be incorporated into a set of spreadsheet cells such that a user can interact with the tasks. A data value from a spreadsheet cell can be embedded into a document such that when the spreadsheet is updated and the data value changes, the corresponding embedded data value within the document can be changed. Spreadsheets can also include comments that can be navigated using a movable interface element that changes position within the spreadsheet based on a location of a set of cells corresponding to a comment.

The file key can comprise a hash of an enterprise identifier for an entity to which the creator of the file is a member, a hash of a folder identifier for a location in which the file is stored, and a hash of a file identifier uniquely identifying the file. The generated file keys can be sorted into an ordered list and the ordered list can be logically partitioning into a plurality of logical shards. Each logical shard of the plurality of logical shards can then be mapped to one of the plurality of physical shards.

Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques for enhanced tagging of natural language queries that are initially segmented and tagged by a named entity recognition system. By doing so, enhanced tagging of a natural language query that represents a deeper understanding of the query is provided. The enhanced tagging improves the operation of search engines that use the enhanced tags by enabling the search engine to identify and return more relevant search results in answers to natural language queries.

Abstract: A storage cluster includes a group of data nodes having concurrent access to a shared filesystem. The shared filesystem is assigned to a first TLU of a first storage group. Other filesystems of the data nodes associated with the shared filesystem, such as snapshot copies of the shared filesystems and the root/configuration filesystems of the data nodes are assigned to TLUs of a second set of storage groups. The first storage group and the second set of storage groups are all associated with a Remote Data Replication (RDR) group for the storage cluster. An RDR facility is created between a storage array storing the shared filesystem and a backup storage array. The concurrently accessed shared filesystem and the filesystems of all data nodes accessing shared filesystem are replicated on the RDR facility to the backup storage array to enable failover of the storage cluster between sites.

Abstract: A synchronization protocol is provided that can be used to resolve synchronization errors encountered while trying to synchronize versions of data objects between a client device and a remote computing system. The protocol includes a client device, in an offline processing mode, handling user interface (“UI”) manipulation actions on one or more UI elements of one or more UI screens. The handling of the UI manipulation actions modifies or creates a local version of a data object stored on the client device. The UI manipulation actions are stored by the client device and sent to the remote computing system. The client device receives a synchronization error notification from the remote computing system. After receiving the notification, the client device displays, in one of the UI screens, the local version of the data object and one or more indications of a synchronization error.

The searching unit searches a memory unit, which is stored object data that includes specific information identifying an object and attribute information indicating at least one of timing and position, for first object data containing specific information identical or similar to specified specific information. The obtaining unit obtains, from the memory unit, one or more sets of second object data which contains attribute information identical or similar to the attribute information included in the first object data and which contains specific information different than the specific information included in the first object data. The selecting unit selects one of the sets of second object data. The searching unit further searches for the first object data with the specific information included in the selected second object data serving as specified specific information.
