Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to third party cloud schema matching to a user's data. The user can select the type of data to be looked up from an external source in order for the user's data to be augmented with data from the external source. The user can be presented with a list of service providers that support the selected type of data. Columns from the user's data are associated with supported lookup information types either automatically or manually. Based on the association, data from the external data source is automatically mapped to the user's data and updates are selectively applied to the user's data.

Abstract: An oldest version timestamp is received from a first database. A current commit timestamp is received from a second database configured to asynchronously replicate the first database. The current global commit timestamp corresponds to a commit transaction executed in the first database and subsequently replicated in the second database. A first test query is then issued to the second database including a request for a current timestamp of the second database. A second test query is issued to the primary database requesting records associated with a target update version that has a target timestamp equal to the current snapshot timestamp. A determination is then made that a first return associated with the first test query and a second return associated with the second test query are identical indicating a successful validation. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: According to an aspect multiple records are stored in a database server. A set of records are retrieved by querying the database server. A first file is formed to contain the retrieved set of records. The first file is sent by email to a user, and a second file, with at least one of the set of records modified, is received from the user by email. The received modifications contained in the second file are propagated to the database server, upon receipt of the second file. Users may accordingly be able to effect modifications to multiple records in a single email exchange. According to another aspect, the updates are effected by using a SOA server storing a process definition to interface (send and receive emails) with the user and propagate the changes. The SOA server may contain a workflow block to interact with users based on email exchange.

Abstract: Methods and systems for accelerated input data conversion include partially parsing an input data set to convert the data set from a first format to a second format in an intermediate output having at least one unparsed portion to quickly perform a majority of the conversion. The partial parsing operates on portions of the input data set having a size less than a threshold size and leaves portions of the input data having a size greater than the threshold size unparsed. The intermediate output is parsed to convert at least one unparsed portion from the first format to the second format in a final output to complete the conversion such that a combined parsing time of the partial parse of the input data set and the parse of the intermediate output is accelerated relative to a single-stage parsing.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for storing data files in a file system. The file system provides a plurality of reference data files, where each reference data file in the plurality of data files represents a group of similar data files. The mechanism creates a new data file and associated the new data file with one reference data file in the plurality of data files thus defining an associated reference data file of the plurality of reference data files. The mechanism informs the file system about the association of the new data file with the associated reference data file. The mechanism compresses the new data file using the associated reference data file thereby forming a compressed data file. The mechanism stores the compressed data file together with information about the association of the new data file with the associated reference data file.
