  • Patent number: 12711178
    Abstract: Storage service version configuration data is obtained at a time when a data storage node cluster starts a data storage service based on a debugging mode. Based on the storage service version configuration data and data storage node cluster topology information, graph metadata of the distributed graph database is created at a time when no data storage service is provided, where the graph metadata includes a storage service version configuration field populated with the storage service version configuration data and a node metadata field of each data storage node. Node metadata information of the data storage node is obtained at a time when the data storage node cluster starts the data storage service based on a normal mode. The obtained node metadata information of the data storage node is filed into a corresponding node metadata field of the graph metadata to obtain managed graph metadata.

  • Patent number: 12681948
    Abstract: A data processing method applied to the data warehouse system includes that a coordinator node allocates a data write request of a data table to a first computing node, and the first computing node checks whether target data corresponding to the data write request meets a constraint condition. If the check succeeds, a metadata cluster checks the target data again. If the check performed by the metadata cluster also succeeds, a cloud storage cluster writes the target data into the data table. It can be learned that the data warehouse system uses a two-layer indexing mechanism and the metadata cluster of a cloud native architecture to check whether data to be written into the data table meets the constraint condition. Therefore, when a data constraint capability is provided, data reliability is ensured, and that system running performance is not affected is also ensured.
