Abstract: Aspects for conservative garbage collecting are disclosed. In one aspect, root objects included in a call stack are identified, which comprise integers and pointers. Integer representations are tagged and distinguishable from untagged pointer representations. Root objects are traced to corresponding memory locations such that a subsequent tracing is performed on the pointer representations and skipped on the integer representations. Memory allocated to objects unreachable by the call stack is then freed. In another aspect, an object graph associated with a call stack is tagged, and a heap is generated comprising objects included in an executed portion of the call stack. Objects included in an unexecuted portion of the call stack are traced to corresponding memory locations on the heap such that a subsequent tracing is only performed on the untagged pointer representations. Memory locations corresponding to heap objects unreachable by the unexecuted portion of the call stack are then cleared.

Abstract: Data obsolescence is managed using a bitmap or bit array index which is associated with a table during an obsolescence control period. A table is selected to undergo obsolescence control for a period of time. Any records that have not been accessed for a certain number of cycles ‘M’, which represents an obsolescence limit, are deemed to be obsolete. During at least a part of each cycle, the results of database queries to the table are monitored, such that for each cycle an ‘obsolescence’ bitmap is created indicating which records were accessed. Once a sufficient number of cycles have elapsed, so that records that have not been accessed at all since the start of the obsolescence control period lie outside the obsolescence limit, queries are restricted to records which have been accessed during the last ‘M’ cycles by applying the ‘M’ most recently stored obsolescence bitmaps.

Abstract: A distributed data storage method, apparatus, and system are disclosed. After a first node receives a query request that comprises a query identifier, if first data corresponding to the query identifier is stored locally, but second data corresponding to the query identifier is not stored locally, the first node recalculates a second node configured to store the first data, and sends storage location information of the first data to the second node. The second node obtains the first data from the first node according to the storage location information after receiving a request for querying for the first data, and if the request for querying for the first data is not received subsequently, the operation of obtaining, by the second node, the first data from the first node is not triggered. In this way, network data transmission resources are reduced and storage space is saved.

Abstract: System and method are disclosed for enabling data synchronization with different cloud service providers. Semantics of provide data from the cloud service providers may be determined and captured in a data object—i.e. a provider data object. The provider data object may then be instantiated for individual cloud service providers for synchronizing data with a given cloud service provider. Provider data can be received from the given cloud service provider can be processed using the instance of the provider data object. Specific provider information can then be extracted from the received provider data according the semantics defined in the instance of the provider data object. The extracted provider information can then compared with provider information already stored in a database. When one or more differences are detected between the two, the received provider information can be saved to the database.

Abstract: Techniques are described to allow the deprecation of classes in an object-oriented data model, such as a CDM for a CMDB. When a class is deprecated and replaced by another existing or new class, data associated with instances of the deprecated class may be migrated to the replacement class. A mapping between the deprecated class and its replacement class may be provided to allow existing applications to continue to access data using the deprecated class without change until the deprecated class is finally deleted or the application is updated to use the replacement class. New applications written to use the object-oriented data model after the deprecation may use the replacement class to access data instances created using the original data model.
