  • Patent number: 10489374
    Abstract: A method includes setting, by an update processor, a write latch in a first data structure associated with an object. The first data structure is copied to a storage structure. A history tuple sequence number (TSN) of the first data structure is set to point to a TSN of the copied first data structure. The version identifier is set to point to a transaction identification for the object. Data portions are updated for the first data structure. The version identifier is read from the first data structure. It is determined whether the version identifier of the first data structure is visible for a transaction including isolation requirements. If version identifier of the first data structure is visible, the first data structure is accessed and it is determined whether the version identifier of the first data structure changed since starting the transaction.

  • Patent number: 10489440
    Abstract: A system and method for data cleansing are disclosed. The method includes receiving by a data classifier, a data corpus comprising one or more words. The method further includes grouping the one or more words into a plurality of pre-defined categories and determining an overlap ratio between each pair of the plurality of pre-defined categories based on a comparison between each of the plurality of pre-defined categories. A normalized overlap ratio is computed for each of the plurality of pre-defined categories based on a combination of each overlap ratio. At least one of the plurality of pre-defined categories is determined based on a comparison between each of the normalized overlap ratio and an ideal overlap ratio. Finally, one or more common words from the selected at least one of the plurality of pre-defined categories is removed based on a frequency of occurrence of the one or more common words.

  • Patent number: 10482093
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for data mining, the method comprising: making statistics of the feature vectors of each target object according to the records in a target data set so as to constitute a rough data set, each of the feature vectors including the value of at least one attribute data of the target objects corresponding thereto; screening the feature vectors which correspond to all known the first type of target objects from the rough data set, and performing a filter operation onto the screened feature vectors to obtain samples; and building a regression model based on the samples, and then using the built regression model to determine whether each of all known the second type of target objects potentially belongs to the first type of target objects. The method for data mining disclosed in the present invention is capable of mining and classifying the target objects according to the comprehensive features of the target objects.

  • Patent number: 10467237
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems and methods that enable users to manage, search for, share and discover objects based on a context of the object from the user's perspective. The same object may have vastly different meanings (context) to different individuals based on how they experience the object. Rather than managing objects solely based on information about the object, the implementations described allow users to specify a context for the object and manage objects based on that context. In addition, external sources may provide supplemental information about objects and/or representations of objects.

  • Patent number: 10445338
    Abstract: A method for replicating data in a cloud storage system supporting multiple clients, wherein the cloud storage system comprises a plurality of object storing entities (A, B, C) for storing data objects, includes requesting, by a client, values and associated timestamps for a first data object from a first quorum of the object storing entities (A, B, C). The method further includes determining, by the client, a most recent value of the first data object based on the associated timestamps. The method additionally includes performing, by the client, a compare-and-swap procedure, so that the determined value and its corresponding timestamp for the first data object updates the first data object with a value with a newer timestamp and stores the first data object in a second quorum of the object storing entities (A, B, C).

  • Patent number: 10423686
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure are directed towards increasing a community of interest group users of an interest group, e.g., a network site having a feed of posts generally related to a particular topic. Many newly created interest groups do not have enough content to keep users interested and attract new users. The technology described herein automatically obtains content that backfills such an interest group with additional related content. The backfilled content may be found by keywords search and/or by crawling general public data, data from specific sites, historical conversation data, and/or more widely scoped data. Also described is creating a new interest group and seeding the group with content based upon backfilling technology.

  • Patent number: 10423588
    Abstract: Orchestrated disaster recovery is provided in which replication volumes are automatically configured as part of a failover procedure. An example method includes obtaining replication volume configuration information identifying configuration of a replication volume in a data replication relationship in which data is replicated from a replication source to a replication target. The replication volume is configured for the replication source and replication volume remains at least partially non-configured for the replication target during data replication from the replication source to the replication target. Based on an indication of failover, the obtained configuration information is used in automatically configuring the replication volume for the replication target in preparation for use by application(s) of the replication target site. Automatically configuring includes configuring, for the replication volume, a volume group and a mount point.

  • Patent number: 10346434
    Abstract: A partitioning policy for materializing writes indicated in journal entries of a multi-data-store database is determined. The policy indicates a partitioning attribute of a data object. A write applier associated with a materialization node of the database processes journal entries according to the partitioning policy. If the value of the partitioning attribute associated with a write of a particular journal entry indicates that the write belongs to a partition materialized at the materialization node, the write applier propagates the write to the materialization node for storage at the node's storage devices.
