Abstract: Modifying a recipe for food based on a geographic origin of produce in the recipe is disclosed. A recipe is identified by a data processing system for a food dish, produce procured for the recipe from source(s), and determines a geographic origin where the produce was grown and an estimated transport time of the produce from the geographic origin to the source(s). A data processing system analyzes the recipe against ingredient(s) available to the user and aspect(s) of the produce, resulting in analysis result(s), modifies the recipe, resulting in a modified recipe based on the geographic origin, the transport time (may be estimated) and the analysis result(s), and makes available to the user the modified recipe.

Abstract: A search engine optimizer, which works independently and in parallel with a browser and search engine supercomputer to gather, analyze, and distill input information interactively. The optimizer reorganizes the input, and providing an optimized version as an output. The optimized version of the input (e.g. output) is sent to the search engine, which responds to the end user with search results. The optimizer recognizes each request as a pattern and stores the pattern in an advanced Glyph format. This permits the optimizer to identify a left and ride side check mate combination required to achieve certitude.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for incremental reclustering of database tables based on local maxima of partition overlap. In an embodiment, a database platform makes a determination, based on one or more incremental-reclustering criteria, to incrementally recluster a database table, which has a clustering key and which is stored across a plurality of partitions. In response to making the determination, the database platform selects a subset of the partitions, and at least incrementally reclusters the selected subset. The selecting of the subset includes identifying a local maximum of a quantity of overlapping partitions in the plurality of partitions with respect to a domain of the clustering key of the table, where the overlapping partitions overlap with respect to the clustering key.

Abstract: Scalable architecture for propagating updates may be implemented for data replicated from a data set. A node may receive updates to items in a data set that have been committed to the data set. The node may determine whether the update should be applied to a replicated portion of the data set. For updates that should be applied, the node may identify another node that hosts the replicated portion of the data set and send a request to the other node to perform a conditional atomic operation to apply the update to the item in the replicated portion of the data set. The condition may compare a version identifier associated with an update and a current version identifier for the item at the other node. If the condition evaluates true, then the update to the item in the replicated portion may be performed.
