Abstract: Technology for the improved processing of search queries is provided. In one embodiment, methods may return semantically relevant search results for a search query. During a pre-computing offline processing, an inventory semantic index may be generated and may include inventory binary hashing signatures that are associated with inventory listings, such as goods or services for sell, and the index may be partitioned by categories and shards. When a search query is received, relevant categories are determined using a relevant category recognition service, and a search query binary hashing signature maybe generated for the search query. The relevant categories are searched to determine hamming distances between the inventory binary hashing signatures and the search query binary hashing signature, where the hamming distance indicates semantic relevance.

Abstract: A query fingerprint of a set of frames of video content captured at a client device may be generated. Multiple patches of the set of frames of video content may be selected and a value calculated for each of the selected multiple patches. The value for each patch may be indicated as a single bit along with an additional 1-bit value to indicate whether the patch value is weak. A database of known reference fingerprints may be queried using the generated query fingerprint. Matches between the query fingerprint and the reference fingerprints may be identified. Weak bits may be given reduced weight in identifying the match of fingerprints. Based on the matches, an identifier for the video content may be returned to the client device. The client device may use the received identifier to access the supplemental content.

Abstract: An update system may be used to update referenced data objects that are used by multiple applications. In some cases incorrect data may be entered and later corrected. Data consistency techniques are described herein to help avoid use of incorrect data before the data is corrected. A communication from the update system may include updated master data objects and an indication that there are further updates queued. A flag may be set for each of the updated master data objects as they are stored in a database. Then when a request to access those objects is received, the request may be denied when the flag set, thereby preventing access to potentially incorrect or outdated data.

Abstract: An information management system allows a user to search through a secondary copy of data, such as a backup, archive, or snapshot without first retrieving the secondary copy of data. Instead, the system constructs lightweight data that can be displayed to a user as a representation of the search results. Lightweight data may include metadata or other information that identifies data included in the secondary copy of data. The lightweight data may be perceived as being the secondary copy of data and allow a user to browse through search results. Once the user identifies a search result that is of interest, information in the lightweight data can be used to retrieve the secondary copy of data. Because lightweight data may have a smaller file size than the file size of the secondary copy of data, the latency of performing a search may be reduced.

Abstract: A backup system is described for prioritizing backup data in enterprise networks. Messages containing data to be backed up are received at a backup server from endpoint devices and a priority value is determined for each message based on numerous factors, such as the organizational role of the user of the endpoint, the time since last backup, average upload speed, frequency of backups, and other properties. The system prioritizes backing up of messages based on the priority value of the messages.

Abstract: A central database system allows users to access and use data stored in a relational database. In order to ensure that the stored data is not detrimentally impacted and that the security of the stored data is maintained, the central database system generates a sanitized copy of the database. The central database system stores and accesses annotation files associated with data tables of the database and a schema identifying the structure of the database. Based on the schema, for each data table, the central database system validates the annotation file. A copy of the data table is created and sanitized corresponding to the annotation file. The sanitized copies of the data tables are used to generate a sanitized copy of the database. The sanitized copy of the database may then be accessed and used by users of the central database system without impacting the relational database.

Abstract: Systems and methods for very fast grouping of “similar” SQL queries according to user-supplied similarity criteria. The user-supplied similarity criteria include a threshold quantifying the degree of similarity between SQL queries and common artifacts included in the queries. A similarity-characterizing data structure allows for the very fast grouping of “similar” SQL queries. Because the computation is distributed among multiple compute nodes, a small cluster of compute nodes takes a short time to compute the similarity-characterizing data on a workload of tens of millions of queries. The user can supply the similarity criteria through a UI or a command line tool. Furthermore, the user can adjust the degree of similarity by supplying new similarity criteria. Accordingly, the system can display in real time or near real time, updated SQL groupings corresponding to the newly supplied similarity criteria using the originally computed similarity-characterizing data structure.
