  • Patent number: 11704298
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to measuring and improving an index quality of a distributed data system. For example, various quality metrics are determined on a per partition basis of the distributed data system. Each of the quality metrics are indicative of a quality of a particular property of a partition. The quality metrics are aggregated to generate an overall index quality score, which provides a measure of the performance of the index. The index quality score is utilized to automatically detect an inefficiency of the index and automatically determine that certain index maintenance actions should be automatically performed to improve the performance of the index. Each quality metric may also be individually analyzed to determine which database property is affecting the performance of the index the most.

  • Patent number: 11645281
    Abstract: The subject technology receives a query, the query including a set of statements for performing the query. The subject technology populates a compilation context based at least in part the query. The subject technology invokes a compiler to perform a compilation process based on the compilation context. The subject technology performs a lookup operation on a stored plan cache for an exact match based on information from the compilation context. The subject technology, in response to determining an exact match, determines whether the particular query plan requires re-compilation based on a data dependent optimization. The subject technology determines whether a plan cache entry corresponding to the particular query plan includes a data property constraint. The subject technology determines whether the data property constraint still holds based on a set of data properties.

  • Patent number: 11630830
    Abstract: A format conversion engine for Apache Hadoop that converts data from its original format to a database-like format at certain time points for use by a low latency (LL) query engine. The format conversion engine comprises a daemon that is installed on each data node in a Hadoop cluster. The daemon comprises a scheduler and a converter. The scheduler determines when to perform the format conversion and notifies the converter when the time comes. The converter converts data on the data node from its original format to a database-like format for use by the low latency (LL) query engine.

  • Patent number: 11625397
    Abstract: A computer system comprises one or more processors, a primary database system, and a secondary database system. The secondary database system is configured as a hot-standby system for the primary database system. The secondary database system is capable of providing at least a minimum amount of essential functionality of the primary database system during a disruption to the primary database system. The primary database system is configured by programming instructions, executable on the computer system, to cause the one or more processors to determine from a query request from a client application directed to the primary database system that workload from a query may be shifted to the secondary database system and selectively instruct the client application to direct the secondary database system to execute the query based on a per-table calculated result lag. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 11580142
    Abstract: A system and associated methodology manages localization data. According to one embodiment of the present invention a primary set of data associated with one or more specific locations is imported and matched to a predefined format. Thereafter external, secondary, data associated with each of the localities listed in the primary data set is collected from a plurality of third party location service providers. With the collected secondary data matched to the same predefined format a comparison is made between the plurality of secondary data sets and the primary data set. Differences between the data sets are identified and the primary data set modified as necessary. Thereafter, normalized data from the modified primary data set is exported to the third party location service providers to enhance consistency and reliable of locational data.
