  • Patent number: 11947493
    Abstract: During a backup a procedure, a first storage entity may backup a set of database logs from a second storage entity and metadata associated with the set of database logs may be stored in a log deletion table. In accordance with a user configuration of the second storage entity and the backup procedure, a first command to delete one or more database logs of the set from the second storage entity may be transmitted to the second storage entity. The log deletion table may be updated based on a query of second storage entity about whether the one or more database logs were deleted from the second storage entity in response to the first command. Based on the updated log deletion table, a second command may be transmitted to the second storage entity to delete database logs that were not deleted in response to the first command.

  • Patent number: 11947542
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for providing batch performance using a stream processor. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising detecting a real close of books (COB) of a data transport, the real COB associated with a set of raw events transmitted over the data transport, flushing a stream processor in response to detecting the real COB, and retrieving a set of processed events from a distributed file system after the flushing is complete. A fact COB computation is then performed on the set of processed events and the set of raw events, the fact COB computation outputting a number of missing events, each missing event representing a raw event that is not present in the set of processed events. The processed events are then certified upon determining that the number of missing events is below a threshold.

  • Patent number: 11921671
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for creating, deleting, and restoring volume snapshots in a remote data store are disclosed. A storage volume and a storage operating system are implemented in a software container. Through a user interface, a user may create a snapshot of the volume to a cloud storage. A user may also delete individual snapshots from the cloud storage. Further, deletion of a most recent snapshot may occur by awaiting deletion (though marking as deleted to the user) until a next snapshot is received. Snapshots in the cloud storage are manipulatable even after destruction of the source volume (by destruction of the container, for example). A controller outside the container is used by implementing the same API as the controller in the container had. Full restores of snapshots in the cloud are also possible even when the original container and volume have been destroyed.

  • Patent number: 11907254
    Abstract: A replicated database can be provisioned that provides primary and secondary replicas that can be provisioned in different data zones or geographical locations. The database can be installed on the primary replica, and both the primary and secondary replica can have installed a block level replication mechanism that allows any I/O operation to be replicated by between the primary and secondary replicas. Any failure or outage of the primary replica can be addressed by performing a failover operation to the secondary replica. A DNS name or other such approach can be used such that the name can be aliased to the secondary replica during a failover, such that there is no action needed on the part of the customer to utilize the “new” primary replica. The creation of the database and provisioning of the replicated instance can be initiated using a Web service call to a control environment.

  • Patent number: 11899538
    Abstract: A changed block tracking (CBT) driver at a production host tracks, in a bitmap, changes made to a source volume of the production host since a last backup. A command is received to perform a differential backup of the source volume. A request is issued to a copy service to take a snapshot of the source volume. The bitmap is embedded into the snapshot. The snapshot is mounted on a backup proxy, different from the production host. The backup proxy retrieves the bitmap from the snapshot and conducts the differential backup of the source volume to secondary storage, thereby backing up the changes made to the source volume since the last backup according to the bitmap.

  • Patent number: 11899666
    Abstract: A system and method is described for database split generation in a massively parallel or other distributed database environment including a plurality of databases and a data warehouse layer providing data summarization and querying functionality. A database table accessor of the system obtains, from an associated client application, a query for data in a table of the data warehouse layer, wherein the query includes a user preference. The system obtains table data representative of properties of the table, and determines a splits generator in accordance with one or more of the user preference or the properties of the table. The system generates, by the selected splits generator, table splits dividing the user query into a plurality of query splits, and outputs the plurality of query splits to an associated plurality of mappers for execution by the associated plurality of mappers of each of the plurality of query splits against the table.
