Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for storage management in a hierarchical file system. The method includes tracking directories for sub-file systems of the hierarchical file system. A request for creation of an additional directory in the hierarchical file system is received. In response to the request, the additional directory is created in a sub-file system of the hierarchical file system while providing that each directory resides in only one sub-file system. If the additional directory is a child directory, the additional directory is created in the sub-file system containing the parent directory of the child directory.

Abstract: In some examples, a computing device determines a data manipulation from a job specification. The device determines a corresponding data-processing instruction using data-source metadata, and determines and executes a corresponding query. In some examples, a device receives search keys. The device searches data-source metadata using the search keys. The device weights a first data source based on producer-consumer relationships between data sources, and ranks the first data source using the weight. In some examples, a device determines structural and content information of a data record. The device determines a data-source identifier from the structural information and stores the content information with the data-source identifier in a database. In some examples, via a user interface, a device receives a job specification and annotation data. The device stores the spec and the annotation data in a metadata repository.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for presenting related media content items are provided.

Abstract: Adjusting system actions based on an absence of relationship acceptance may include detecting absence of connection acceptance by one or more first users in a computer-implemented social networking system. Patterns of the absence of connection acceptance of the one or more first users may be correlated. Users with common patterns of absence of connection acceptance may be clustered into a cluster of users. Absence of connection acceptance by a second user may be detected. Responsive to determining that a pattern of the absence of connection acceptance associated with the second user matches with the common patterns, a profile associated with the second user may be updated according to a template profile associated with the cluster. System actions of the social networking system may be activated for the second user based on the profile updated according to the template profile.

Abstract: A journal optimizer in a computer database system with an adaptive journal mechanism. The adaptive journal mechanism dynamically adjusts adaptive parameters of the journal optimizer to optimize the journal based on one or more journal conditions to more efficiently utilize system resources. The adaptive parameters used to adapt the optimization include aggressiveness parameters and the location of the optimizer, where the aggressiveness parameters specify the intensity of optimization of the journal by the journal optimizer. For example, the adaptive journal mechanism may dynamically adjust an adaptive parameter of the optimizer to increase optimization of the journal when the resource utilization indicates the resources are underutilized and decrease optimization of the journal when the resource utilization indicates resources are strained.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for an online social networking service with human matchmaking are provided.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention include a method for merging records associated with objects in an object database and include generating, by a database system, a graph database corresponding to an object database, wherein objects in the object database are represented as nodes of graphs in the graph database, and wherein relationships among the objects in the object database are represented as edges of the graphs in the graph database; receiving, by the database system, information about a first object and information about a dimension based on a first relationship associated with the first object; and performing, by the database system, a merge operation using the information about the first object and the information about the dimension on the graph database instead of on the object database.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing read queries latch-free access to an index page. In an embodiment, a processor receives a request from a read query to access one or more records of an index page. The index page includes an update pointer and a slot array. The processor locates one or more updates prepended to the index page by locating a most recently prepended update indicated by the update pointer. Then, the processor generates a local offset table with entries in the slot array and the located one or more updates. The generated local offset table enables the processor to provide the read query access to the one or more records of the index page.

Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable automatically removing a potential tag of a subject depicted in a multimedia item based on a context of the multimedia item and one or more preferences of the subject being tagged. Specifically, a request to tag a subject in the multimedia item is received, and the multimedia item is analyzed to determine a context. The context is compared to the preferences related to the subject to determine a variance. If a variance exists, a removal action related to the tag is performed, such as disallowing or removing the potential tag.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for providing consolidated access to data of a plurality of source databases. Tables of each of the source databases are replicated to a shared accelerator. The source DBMSs are configured to dispatch queries to the accelerator for accelerating query execution. The accelerator is configured such that the replicated tables can only be accessed by the source DBMS having provided said tables for executing a dispatched query. A user can select one of the source DBMSs to act as a consolidated DBMS—C-DBMS. The C-DBMS provides the consolidated access. The user is enabled to select tables managed by another one of the DBMSs. In response to receiving the selection of the tables, the accelerator is re-configuring such that the C-DBMS is granted access also to the copies of the selected tables in the accelerator.

Abstract: Presented are systems and methods that estimate the strength of a relationship between elements gathered from online and/or offline information sources by estimating the trustworthiness both of the gathered data and the information sources from which the data originates. In one exemplary application, the relatedness between co-occurring symptom and disease terms collected from information sources, such as health-related online databases, is iteratively evaluated based on the trustworthiness of symptom-disease pairings and the trustworthiness of the information sources themselves. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, an objective function is used to extract a knowledge base that aids in identifying a potential relationship between a set of given symptoms provided by a user of an online healthcare service and co-occurring disease terms, such that a likely disease may be inferred from the set of symptoms.
