Abstract: A technique for performing continuous data protection and point-in-time recovery for file systems includes performing continuous replication to maintain a replica of a file system by writing changes in the file system to a journal and then writing the changes from the journal to the replica. In response to receiving a request to roll back the replica to a previous point in time, the technique accesses the journal to identify changes made to the replica since the previous point in time and performs undo operations to undo the identified changes and restore the replica to its state at the previous point in time.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage media are provided for analyzing a large amount of social media data from a large population of social media users and constructing correlational data models between one or more events that occur within each user's timeline. Social media posts directed to personal experiences of a large number of social media users are extracted. Event timelines are generated for each of the social media users, based on their personal experiences. The event timelines are analyzed with a particular event of interest to measure correlations between events occurring within the timelines and the particular event of interest. Using the measured correlations, a correlational data model is thereby constructed. The correlational data model may be used for application to decision-making calculations by one or more systems in an active or passive manner.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for creating a user-defined database interface. An Orbit Form module processes a call comprising an identifier for the database, a target data object (database table), approach filters (table fields), and results lines (table fields). Approach filters may support comparable data types, and results lines may support both comparable and non-comparable data types. The call may optionally include parameters that the Orbit Form module uses to govern retrieval of data from the target database, presentation of filter values, and/or formatting of results pages. After testing the call constructs, the Orbit Form module generates Approach boxes (corresponding to the approach filters) that a user employs to enter target input values to compare to records in the database. Record matches result in retrieval and user-specified display of data corresponding to the results lines (DaPs). A selectable view image field in a DaP extracts and displays image file data.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques enable push-based piggybacking of a source-driven logical replication system. Logical replication of a data set (e.g., a snapshot) from a source node to a destination node can be achieved from a source-driven system while preserving the effects of storage efficiency operations (deduplication) applied at the source node. However, if missing data extents are detected at the destination, the destination has an extent pulling problem as the destination may not have knowledge of the physical layout on the source-side and/or mechanisms for requesting extents. The techniques overcome the extent pulling problem in a source-driven replication system by introducing specific protocols for obtaining missing extents within an existing replication environment by piggybacking data pushes from the source.

Abstract: An architecture for implementing a distributed metadata system in a virtualization environment comprising a plurality of servers, wherein each server may access and operate upon the entirety of the metadata in the virtualization environment. In response to a request received at a server to operate upon the metadata, existing metadata associated with the request is read by the server. The server performs one or more updates based upon the retrieved metadata, and attempts to update the corresponding stored metadata. In some embodiments, attempting to update the stored metadata comprises reading the metadata again and comparing it to the originally retrieved metadata, and performing the update only if the newly retrieved metadata matches the originally retrieved metadata.

Systems may involve object oriented database(s) and a software layer including a specialized user interface between the user and the database(s). The user interface may comprise various tools as well as predefined and configurable features that enable effective search of the data as well as display of search results that are configurable and readily managed to provide immediate and useful search results.

Abstract: A service is delivered by a computer system comprising a processor, a memory accessible to the processor and computer storage. The memory holds code which defines service object classes. The service object classes are configured to provide service functions, and the service object classes are instantiated to create service objects which implement the service functions. For each service object, an associated service object identifier is generated in the memory which distinguishes that service object from any other service object. The service objects are serialized to generate serialized data, the serialized data comprising a representation of each service object, and the representation comprising that service object's service object identifier, that service object's associated state data and the service object identifier of any other service object referenced by that service object. Following deactivation, the service objects can be recreated by following the chain of references.

Abstract: A system and method for efficiently storing data in a storage system. A data storage subsystem includes multiple data storage locations on multiple storage devices in addition to at least one mapping table. A data storage controller determines whether data to store in the storage subsystem has one or more patterns of data intermingled with non-pattern data within an allocated block. Rather than store the one or more pattern on the storage devices, the controller stores information in a header on the storage devices. The information includes at least an offset for the first instance of a pattern, a pattern length, and an identification of the pattern. The data may be reconstructed for a corresponding read request from the information stored in the header.
