  • Patent number: 11886431
    Abstract: A method for real-time analytical queries of a documents store is provided. The method includes receiving a query and an access control list associated with a user, the query requesting content managed by a content management system. The method further includes generating an execution plan based on the query and the access control list. The method further includes constraining, based on the execution plan, possible results returned from the query using a content index of a plurality of content items maintained in a repository of the content management system. The constraining includes limiting the at least one processor from adding a content item of the plurality of content items to a permissions-filtered results set based on the access control list identifying the user as not having permission to access the content item. The method further includes aggregating the permissions-filtered results set and returning the aggregated permissions-filtered results set.

  • Patent number: 11886392
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system and method for retaining versions of an object. Changes are appended to a current version object resulting in a new current version object and a most recent previous version object comprising the current version object before the changes were appended. Version metadata, for each previous version object, includes the most recent previous version object, indicating an offset in the new current version object at which the previous version object can be recovered. The most recent previous version object is deleted and the version metadata, for the most recent previous version object after the most recent previous version object is deleted, is retained to allow recovery of a previous version object from the new current version object using the offset in the version metadata.

  • Patent number: 11880363
    Abstract: A cloud resource join query for join operations across cloud resources is parsed to extract join rules and queries to each cloud resource in the cloud resource join query. Results from the individual cloud queries are dynamically indexed based on pairs of cloud resources indicated in the join rules. A search engine applies first order predicates in the join rules using the dynamic indexes to generate pairwise join results corresponding to the query. A result for the cloud resource join query comprises the pairwise join results after merging.

  • Patent number: 11874746
    Abstract: Technologies are described for facilitating database system recovery in a distributed database environment having a master node and at least one slave node. The master node maintains an in-memory reference that includes transaction identifiers and their corresponding commit identifiers. When a slave node requests that a commit identifier be assigned to a transaction, the transaction and commit identifiers for the transaction are added to the in-memory reference. The commit identifier is sent by the master node to the slave node. The slave node writes a log entry to a commit log that includes the transaction identifier and the assigned commit identifier. If the database system is interrupted before the slave node writes the commit log entry, the slave node can request the commit identifier for the transaction from the master node, which retrieves the identifier from the in-memory reference.

  • Patent number: 11874798
    Abstract: Datasets are available from different dataset servers and often lack well-defined metadata. Thus, comparing datasets is difficult. Additionally, there might be different versions of the same dataset which makes the search even more difficult. Using systems and methods described herein, quality scores, dataset versioning, topic identification, and semantic relatedness metadata is stored about datasets stored on dataset servers. A user interface is provided to allow a user to search for datasets by specifying search criteria (e.g., a topic and a minimum quality score) and to be informed of responsive datasets. The user interface may further inform the user of the quality scores of the responsive datasets, the versions of the responsive datasets, or other metadata. From the search results, the user may select and download one or more of the responsive datasets.

  • Patent number: 11860855
    Abstract: A storage service is configured to receive one or more instructions specifying transformations that are to be applied to data sets stored by the storage service when the data sets are made available outside of particular storage locations within the storage service. In response to triggering events that make the data sets available outside of the particular storage locations, the storage services causes the transformations to be performed on the data sets prior to the data sets being accessible at one or more destination locations outside of the particular storage locations where the data sets are stored. In some embodiments, the transformations are performed on hardware included in the storage service or are performed on external hardware at the direction of the storage service.

  • Patent number: 11860675
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for latent summarization of a graph. Structural features can be captured from feature vectors associated with each node of the graph by applying base functions on the feature vectors and iteratively applying relational operators to successive feature matrices to derive deeper inductive relational functions that capture higher-order structural information in different subgraphs of increasing size (node separations). Heterogeneity can be summarized by performing capturing features in appropriate subgraphs (e.g., node-centric neighborhoods associated with each node type, edge direction, and/or edge type). Binning and/or dimensionality reduction can be applied to the resulting feature matrices.

  • Patent number: 11860830
    Abstract: Columns of a table are stored in either row-major format or column-major format in an in-memory DBMS. For a given table, one set of columns is stored in column-major format; another set of columns for a table are stored in row-major format. This way of storing columns of a table is referred to herein as dual-major format. In addition, a row in a dual-major table is updated “in-place”, that is, updates are made directly to column-major columns without creating an interim row-major form of the column-major columns of the row. Users may submit database definition language (“DDL”) commands that declare the row-major columns and column-major columns of a table.
