  • Patent number: 10936588
    Abstract: A query is executed in a massively parallel processing data storage system comprising a master node communicating with a cluster of multiple segments that access data in distributed storage by producing a self-described query plan at the master node that incorporates changeable metadata and information needed to execute the self-described query plan on the segments, and that incorporates references to obtain static metadata and information for functions and operators of the query plan from metadata stores on the segments. The distributed storage may be the Hadoop distributed file system, and the query plan may be a full function SQL query plan.

  • Patent number: 10936441
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein improve performance of file system logging by writing log data to persistent memory instead of staging in RAM before writing to disk. In one embodiment, while the log is being written, checksums are inserted, such that during recovery, the checksums can be used to distinguish good log pages from bad log pages. In this way, good log pages can be evaluated to determine whether to roll a portion of a file system transaction forward, backward, or do nothing, while bad log pages can be safely ignored. Additionally or alternatively, non-temporal copies are employed when writing data to persistent memory, thereby reducing an amount of time log data is exposed to be lost in a crash.

  • Patent number: 10929473
    Abstract: Systems and methods for indexing blockchain data in a blockchain system so that search may proceed more quickly, efficiently, and reliably in all of the blockchain peers. These systems and methods receive a set of transactions from one or more transaction blocks of a blockchain, wherein the transactions in the set have been validated by one or more peer systems of the blockchain. The systems and methods further generate an index to one or more fields of one or more transactions in the set of transactions of the transaction block generate an index representative of at least one field in the set of transactions of the transaction block and provide the generated index for validation by a peer system of the blockchain. After receiving verification from at least a threshold number of peer systems that the generated index has been validated by the peer system, these systems and methods store the generated index as an index block in the block chain.

  • Patent number: 10915500
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein facilitate the search and presentation of historical data for wireless network usage and provide a mechanism for high-redundancy, low-latency record retrieval of data from large data sets. Network devices divide data for a historical data store into separate record type groups, store metadata for each record type in an application database, partition each record type group by date in a historical record database that is different from the application database, and form, within each date partition, buckets of common hash values of a key parameter from each record. When a user performs a query, the network devices generate a record-specific query form based on the record type metadata to obtain lookup parameters; generate a search hash value using a key parameter from the lookup parameters; and generate a query expression based on the record type, lookup parameters, and the search hash value.

  • Patent number: 10902025
    Abstract: In one example embodiment, an analysis application implements a technique for measuring a property of interest of an input dataset of location samples. The analysis application may process the input dataset in one or more multi-stage pipelines to produce values that measure a metric for the input dataset. The values that measure the metric for the input dataset may be compared with values that measure the metric for one or more labeled datasets that are generated by the analysis application, for example, using a feedback loop and sampling from a plurality of delta data sets. Each labeled datasets may have different values that measure the metric and corresponding measures of the property of interest. Based on the comparison, the analysis application may determine the measure of the property of interest for the input dataset and such measure may be returned, for example, to a remote device.

  • Patent number: 10891336
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for collaborative learned scoping to extend data reach for a search request. From monitoring prior collaboration data of entities discussing topics, the topics, access response times to data sources with content objects for the topics, and topic response content of the content objects are derived. A data reach model is built using the topics, the access response times, the topic response content, and data sources of the topics. For a topic of the topics, the data reach model is used to determine a new data source to be added and a duration of adding the new data source based on real time entity activity. The new data source is added to a data reach of the current group of entities. In response to receiving a search request, the search request is issued against the data sources and the new data source, and results are returned.

  • Patent number: 10891591
    Abstract: A computer processor may extract identity information from a document. The identity information may include at least one custodian identity attribute. After extracting the identity information, the computer processor may determine that the identity information is associated with a specific custodian. The computer processor may then search for the custodian identity attribute in a custodian directory to determine whether the custodian directory contains an entry for the custodian. If the custodian is not in the custodian directory, the computer processor may create a new entry in the custodian directory for the custodian and store the extracted identity information in the new entry.

  • Patent number: 10860575
    Abstract: An engine for resolving a query from a user to provide a dynamic actionable dashboard in a business operating system includes an MLET database, a data interface, a logic configured to process incoming queries, fetch data in relation to those queries, and render an actionable dashboard having data resulting from the queries. The MLET database comprises a plurality of templates (“MLETs”), each MLET being associated with a unique identifier and including a mechanism for accessing data relating to that identifier. The logic processes queries into constructs having a tokens and configurable inputs. If the query includes a unique identifier associated with an MLET in the MLET database, the MLET is used to fetch data responding to the query. If the query includes a unique identifier not associated with an MLET in the MLET database, the logic creates a new MLET using operational intelligence and stores it in the MLET database.
