Patent number: 10585889Abstract: An apparatus for optimizing a skewed join is described herein. The apparatus includes logic, at least partially including hardware logic, to determine that a dataset for the skewed join comprises a skewed key that does not fit in memory. The apparatus also includes logic to model the skewed join as a queue. The apparatus also includes logic to estimate a cost of the skewed join based on the modeled queue. The apparatus evaluates different join techniques, and partitioning strategies for the skewed join, and chooses the plan with the lowest cost.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2015Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Soila P.

Patent number: 10579627Abstract: In some examples, a computing device determines a data manipulation from a job specification. The device determines a corresponding data-processing instruction using data-source metadata, and determines and executes a corresponding query. In some examples, a device receives search keys. The device searches data-source metadata using the search keys. The device weights a first data source based on producer-consumer relationships between data sources, and ranks the first data source using the weight. In some examples, a device determines structural and content information of a data record. The device determines a data-source identifier from the structural information and stores the content information with the data-source identifier in a database. In some examples, via a user interface, a device receives a job specification and annotation data. The device stores the spec and the annotation data in a metadata repository.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2016Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Narayan Nevrekar, Francisc Stugren, Atul Bhartia, Kevin Joseph Fischer, Michael Guthrie, Sohail Mohammed, Scott Rosemund, Kazi Al-Rashid

Patent number: 10565059Abstract: A journal optimizer in a computer database system with an adaptive journal mechanism. The adaptive journal mechanism dynamically adjusts adaptive parameters of the journal optimizer to optimize the journal based on one or more journal conditions to more efficiently utilize system resources. The adaptive parameters used to adapt the optimization include aggressiveness parameters and the location of the optimizer, where the aggressiveness parameters specify the intensity of optimization of the journal by the journal optimizer. For example, the adaptive journal mechanism may dynamically adjust an adaptive parameter of the optimizer to increase optimization of the journal when the resource utilization indicates the resources are underutilized and decrease optimization of the journal when the resource utilization indicates resources are strained.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2015Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rafal P.

Patent number: 10565272Abstract: Adjusting system actions based on an absence of relationship acceptance may include detecting absence of connection acceptance by one or more first users in a computer-implemented social networking system. Patterns of the absence of connection acceptance of the one or more first users may be correlated. Users with common patterns of absence of connection acceptance may be clustered into a cluster of users. Absence of connection acceptance by a second user may be detected. Responsive to determining that a pattern of the absence of connection acceptance associated with the second user matches with the common patterns, a profile associated with the second user may be updated according to a template profile associated with the cluster. System actions of the social networking system may be activated for the second user based on the profile updated according to the template profile.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2015Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jonathan F.

Patent number: 10558636Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing read queries latch-free access to an index page. In an embodiment, a processor receives a request from a read query to access one or more records of an index page. The index page includes an update pointer and a slot array. The processor locates one or more updates prepended to the index page by locating a most recently prepended update indicated by the update pointer. Then, the processor generates a local offset table with entries in the slot array and the located one or more updates. The generated local offset table enables the processor to provide the read query access to the one or more records of the index page.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2016Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Zheng-wei She, Xu-dong Qian, Zhi-ping Xiong
