Abstract: Described herein are techniques for replicating external stages between deployments of e.g., a cloud data lake using a modified storage integration. The modified storage integration may be defined with multiple storage locations that it can point to, as well as a designation of an active storage location. The storage integration may also be defined with base file paths for each storage location as well as a relative file path which together may serve to synchronize data loading operations between deployments when e.g., a fail-over occurs from one deployment to another. The storage integration may be replicated from a first deployment to a second deployment, and when database replication occurs, an external stage may be replicated to the second deployment and bound to the replicated storage integration. Thus, a fail-over to the second deployment may result in a seamless transition of data loading processes to the second deployment.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, a device and a computer readable storage medium for designing a dual-mirror shared conf partition file are provided. The method includes pre-configuring disk space occupation capacities for a first flash mirror file, a second flash mirror file, and a shared conf partition of the BMC, and generating a FW file of the BMC which does not include a shared conf partition file. The method further includes mounting partitions configured in one of the first and second flash mirror files firstly and then mounting the shared Conf partition at last, in response to an instruction for starting the one of the first and second flash mirror files. The shared conf partition stores a configuration file of the BMC. The shared conf partition and the configuration file are automatically generated when the BMC runs normally for the first time.

Abstract: Techniques for performing outputting additional content associated with but nonresponsive to an input command are described. A system receives input data from a device. The system determines an intent representing the input data and receives first output data responsive to the input data. The system determines, based on context data, that additional content associated with the first output data but nonresponsive to the input data should be output. The system receives second output data associated with but nonresponsive to the input data thereafter. The system then presents first content corresponding to the first output data and second content corresponding to the second output data.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for multi-destination probabilistic data replication. Data transfer occurs over multiple time intervals. A data image to be transferred is divided into chunks. A manifest is created that lists each chunk and specifies an order, such that the data image can be reconstructed at its destination. The manifest is sent to the destination. The chunks may be sent to the destination, or to an aggregator site that then forwards the chunks to the destination. The chunks are reassembled at the destination based on information in the manifest. A probabilistic function is used to select an aggregator site based on an efficacy. The efficacy is based on a reward function that is computed for destinations for each time interval. A data transfer policy is periodically updated with a new efficacy value which is used for adjustment of the probabilistic function.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for enabling a processing of a dataset of records having a set of attributes. The method comprises: selecting a first attribute of the set of attributes and a subset of one or more second attributes of the set of attributes. Distinct values of the subset of second attributes may be determined from the dataset. For each distinct value of the determined distinct values records of the dataset that have said each distinct value may be identified, and a group of words may be formed from values of the first attribute of the identified records. Distinct word sequences may be identified in the formed groups and a level of presence of each word sequence of the word sequences in each of the formed groups may be determined. At least part of the levels of presence may be provided as metadata.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for indexing partitions using distributed Bloom filters are disclosed. A data indexing system generates a plurality of indices for a plurality of partitions in a distributed object store. The indices comprise a plurality of Bloom filters. An individual one of the Bloom filters corresponds to one or more fields of an individual one of the partitions. Using the Bloom filters, the data indexing system determines a first portion of the partitions that possibly comprise a value and a second portion of the partitions that do not comprise the value. Based (at least in part) on a scan of the first portion of the partitions and not the second portion of the partitions, the data indexing system determines one or more partitions of the first portion of the partitions that comprise the value.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for ingesting data through an atomic transaction are disclosed. Raw data is received from multiple disparate sources to be consumed in an environment that does not support atomic write operations to data consumers. The environment has at least a data table and a notification table. A write to an entry in the data table having an associated version is attempted. The data table entry corresponds to the data to be consumed. A write to a corresponding entry to the notification table is attempted in response to a successful write attempt to the data table. The notification table entry includes information about the corresponding data table entry. The version associated with the data table is modified in response to successful writes of both the data table entry and the notification table entry. At least one data consumer is notified that the data table version has been modified.

Abstract: A data analysis system determines characteristics of a data set such as statistical measures, analytical insights, data trends, or relationships with other data sets. The system determines a level of importance for each determined characteristic using metadata associated with the data set, and, in some cases, user preferences provided by the user. Such metadata may include descriptive names, data types, and data characteristics of the data set and of data elements within the data set.

Abstract: The invention provides for a cloud-based solution that saves all the data in the cloud storage. The peer devices synchronize data among each other independent of the operating system since the data is synced via web services. Synchronization of data among peer devices is possible even when cloud service is unavailable via a router, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC or any other mechanism. The peer devices form a hierarchical structure, which designates a master, and the master communicates with the cloud-based service to synchronize data. The master then synchronizes data with the other peer devices in the hierarchy. New devices can be added to the peer devices and can join the hierarchy.
