  • Patent number: 11874816
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for coordinating a distributed database transaction. A transaction driver, such as a client machine, may initiate a distributed transaction. The transaction driver may transmit to a transaction coordinator a driver report that includes identifying information related to the distributed transaction, including an identification of participants involved in the transaction. The coordinator may determine whether participant reports, which include a status of the portion of the distributed database transaction of a particular participant, are received from each of the participants. Participant reports may also identify participants that are descendants of the reporting participant. The transaction coordinator may store, in a table, information to track the progress of the distributed transaction. Using the table, an outcome of the distributed transaction may be determined and transmitted to one or more of the involved participants.

  • Patent number: 11874795
    Abstract: A first direct index lookup table represents the current state of a storage object using entries with references corresponding to tracks of the storage object. A second direct index lookup table represents a first targetless snapshot of the storage object. A virtual replication data pointer table maps the entries of both the first direct index lookup table and the entries of the second direct index lookup table to backend storage via a system replication data pointer table. Updates to the storage object are represented using new entries in the first direct index lookup table and the system replication data pointer table. Movement of a track that is represented in multiple targetless snapshots that are represented by multiple direct index lookup tables is represented by updating the corresponding virtual replication data pointer table and system replication data pointer table rather than updating each of the direct index lookup tables.

  • Patent number: 11860905
    Abstract: Techniques are discussed for preparing and executing scanning plans for particular types of information, including personally identifiable information. A user indicates one or more datastores to be scanned for the particular type of information. A scanner determines scan objectives for the scanning plan and classifiers for use in scans conducted according to the scanning plan. The scanner estimates scan performance metrics and scan quality metrics. The scanner presents estimated results for the scanning plan based on the selected classifiers, scan objectives, estimate scan performance metrics, and estimated scan quality metrics. The user can modify the set of scan objectives or select between alternative sets of scan objectives. The scanning plan may be performed iteratively and the results of previous scan may be used to adjust classifiers or scan objectives to be used in subsequent scans.

  • Patent number: 11847108
    Abstract: A system has data capture devices collecting data from different points in a network. The captured data is written to a data store and is directed to an output. The data from the different data capture devices can be delivered to a data analytics device. As long as the data analytics device is able to keep pace with the data that is directed to the output, that data is used by the analytics device. If the analytics device is not able to keep pace, the data written to the data store is retrieved and is used until the analytics device has caught up.

  • Patent number: 11836172
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for facilitating data visualization generation. In one implementation, dataset intent data, visual design intent data, and insight intent data determined from a user input natural language query are obtained. A set of candidate intent recommendations is generated using various combinations of the dataset intent data, visual design intent data, and insight intent data. Each of the candidate intent recommendations is incorporated into a set of visualization templates to determine eligibility of the candidate intent recommendations. For eligible candidate intent recommendations, a score associated with a corresponding visualization template is determined. Based on the scores, a candidate intent recommendation and corresponding visualizations template is selected to use as a visual recommendation for presenting a data visualization.

  • Patent number: 11829353
    Abstract: A communications system implements instructions including maintaining a message object that includes an array of entries. Each entry of the array includes a field identifier, a data type, and a next entry pointer. The next entry pointers and a head pointer establish a linked list of entries. The instructions include, in response to a request to add a new entry to the message object, calculating an index based on a field identifier of the new entry and determining whether the entry at the calculated index within the array of entries is active. The instructions include, if the entry is inactive, writing a data type, field identifier, and data value of the new entry to the calculated index, and inserting the new entry into the linked list. The instructions include, if the entry is already active, selectively expanding the size of the array and repeating the calculating and determining.
