  • Patent number: 11809402
    Abstract: Data is replicated on a backup node, where the granularity of the replication can be less than a full volume. A data consistency group comprising a subset of data for a volume is defined for a primary node. A set of differences for the data consistency group is sent to a backup node. The backup node creates change logs in response to receiving the set of differences. In response to receiving a request to access a file having data in the data consistency group, the backup node creates a clone of the file. The backup node determines whether an update to a data block of the file exists in the change logs. In response to determining that the update to the data block exists in the change logs, the backup node updates a copy of the data block for the cloned file with data in the change logs.

  • Patent number: 11803529
    Abstract: Each node of the binary tree contains an integer key value. When a new node is inserted into the binary tree, if the new node has a key value not equal to the key value of a node in the binary tree, there are necessarily a smaller key value A and a greater key value B, a binary boundary value C is calculated using the key values A and B; the relation between the new node and the node in the binary tree and the route for the new node to be inserted are determined based on the binary boundary value C. If A?0, there must be an odd integer N and an integer power F of 2 for the key values A and B to satisfy (N?1)×F<A?N×F and N×F?B<(N+1)×F, then the binary boundary value C=N×F; and if A=0, then the binary boundary value C is equal to 0.

  • Patent number: 11782924
    Abstract: A method and computer program for optimizing computation and data retrieval of join operations from a multi-node log-structure database system. The database system has one or more data tables each having a plurality of columns. A join index is created for one or more join key columns, with optionally one or more secondary columns, of one of the data tables. The join index is partitioned across at least one computing node, and each join index partition reproduces the log structure storage of the data table. The join index is maintained in a series of incremental operations by replicating the creation or deletion of data segments from the log structure storage of the data table to the join index partitions.
