  • Patent number: 11232085
    Abstract: Random cut trees are generated with respective to respective samples of a baseline set of data records of a data set for which outlier detection is to be performed. To construct a particular random cut tree, an iterative splitting technique is used, in which the attribute along which a given set of data records is split is selected based on its value range. With respect to a newly-received data record of the stream, an outlier score is determined based at least partly on a potential insertion location of a node representing the data record in a particular random cut tree, without necessarily modifying the random cut tree.

  • Patent number: 11226954
    Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques for replication-lag constrained deletion of data in a distributed data storage system. In some aspects, the techniques improve the operation of a computing system by preventing too high of a delete rate that causes severe replication lag while at the same time increasing and decreasing the delete rate over time to a maximum allowable delete rate constrained by measured replication lag in terms of both local replication lag and geographic replication lag. In one implementation, the delete rate is adjusted by increasing or decreasing a pause interval that determines how long a database data deletion process pauses between submitting database deletion commands to a database server.

  • Patent number: 11226984
    Abstract: Described herein is a method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for preventing data loss from both producer and consumer systems in continuous availability event-driven applications. The process for preventing data loss may replicate events at the broker level, and selectively receive replica events at the consumer level to account for the case the originally sent event is not received, while conserving computer and network resources. Alternatively, events and replica events may be received in duplicate. In either mode of reception, machine-learning may be used for implementing algorithms which further help to conserve resources and aid in preventing further data loss.
