  • Patent number: 11860836
    Abstract: An object management system (OMS) receives a plurality of objects to be stored. The OMS identifies a subset of objects associated with a same time period and a same namespace from the plurality of objects and generates a batch object comprising the subset of objects. The OMS issues a write request to store the batch object in an object storage system (OSS) and stores, for each object in the subset of objects, a data structure comprising an identifier of the batch object and a position of the object within the batch object. Upon receiving a read request for an object, the OMS determines, based on the data structure, whether the object is stored in the OSS and issues a read request to the OSS based on the identifier of the batch object and the position of the object within the batch, if the objects is stored in the OSS.

  • Patent number: 11775864
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for operation of a feature management platform. A feature management platform is an end-to-end platform developed to manage the full lifecycle of data features. For example, to create a feature the feature management platform can receive a processing artifact (e.g., a configuration file and code fragment) from a computing device. The processing artifact defines the feature, including the data source to retrieve event data from, when to retrieve the event data, the type of transform to apply, etc. Based on the processing artifact, the feature management system generates a processing job, which when initiated generates a vector that encapsulates the feature data. The vector is transmitted to the computing device that locally hosts a model, which generates a prediction. The prediction is transmitted to the feature management platform and can be transmitted to other computing devices, upon request.
