Abstract: A processor-implemented method retrieves information from a database system. A data query, which includes a specification of information to be retrieved from the database system, is generated. A first parameter specifying a condition to be met by the retrieved information is defined. A second parameter specifying one or more data reduction operations to be executed if the condition defined by the first parameter is not met is defined. The generated data query and the first and second parameters are then transmitted to the database system.

Abstract: A fleet of databases may comprise subsets of databases sharing a common schema for replication, horizontal partitioning and other applications. Events related to potential deviations from a desired schema may be monitored. Automated means may be employed to detect variations from a desired schema. An intermediate representation of database schema may be formed and used to compare database schemas. Subclasses and allowed versions of desired schemas may be defined. Security attributes related to schema inspection and modification may be mapped to enable selected operations on schema.

Abstract: An annotation suggestion platform may comprise a client and a server, where the client captures a media object and sends the captured object to the server, and the server provides a list of suggested annotations for a user to associate with the captured media object. The user may then select which of the suggested metadata is to be associated or stored with the captured media. In this way, a user may more easily associate metadata with a media object, facilitating the media object's search and retrieval. The server may also provide web page links related to the captured media object. Suggested metadata may be viewed, selected, and associated through a user interface. The user interface may additionally provide space for web pages to be navigated and viewed.

The method also includes analyzing the iterative operation to identify at least one invariant function, and creating a columnar data having data points representing the invariant function. A system for implementing the method and a non-transitory computer readable medium are also disclosed.

Abstract: A client device can be configured to perform a local index search and a server index search to automatically identify and upload content items on the client device that have not been uploaded to an online content management system. A local index search can include creating a unique local identifier of a content item and searching a local upload index that includes the unique local identifier of each content item that has been uploaded. A server index search can include creating a unique server identifier of the content item and searching a server upload index that includes the unique server identifier of each content item stored on the online content management system. Content items that are determined to have not been uploaded to the online content management system based on the results of the two searches, can be uploaded to the content management system by the client device.

An example system includes a matching component configured to identify copyrighted media content included in a video and a promoting component configured to promote in connection with a search query an authoritative version of the copyrighted media content over one or more non-authoritative versions of the copyrighted media content relative to relevancy of the copyrighted media content to the search query.

Abstract: In a first aspect, a method includes, at a node of a Hadoop cluster, the node storing a first portion of data in HDFS data storage, executing a first instance of a data processing engine capable of receiving data from a data source external to the Hadoop cluster, receiving a computer-executable program by the data processing engine, executing at least part of the program by the first instance of the data processing engine, receiving, by the data processing engine, a second portion of data from the external data source, storing the second portion of data other than in HDFS storage, and performing, by the data processing engine, a data processing operation identified by the program using at least the first portion of data and the second portion of data.

Abstract: An information management system creates data structures based entirely on the content of source files, then compares these data structures to discover synergies and commonalities. In one embodiment, the system accepts a first collection of source files, and extracts text from each source file. The text is compared to tags in one or more dictionaries, which comprise hierarchical listing of tags. Tags matching the text are associated with each source file. The system then generates a virtual relational network in which each source file having matching tags is a node. Tags associated with two or more source files are links between the nodes. This virtual relational network may be compared with another virtual relational network to discover common nodes or links. Source files later added to a collection are massively linked by associating all tags from all source files with the newly added source file, and vice versa.

Abstract: A coupling facility is coupled to one or more other coupling facilities via one or more peer links. The coupling of the facilities enables various functions to be supported, including the duplexing of structures of the coupling facilities. Duplexing is performed on a structure basis, and thus, a coupling facility may include duplexed structures, as well as non-duplexed or simplexed structures.

Abstract: Embodiments control submission of crowdsourced data from a computing device to a cloud service. The cloud service receives a packet from the computing device having collected data and a single-use data tag associated therewith. The single-use data tag represents one of a threshold quantity of single-use data tags issued to the computing device. The cloud service validates the single-use data tag in the received packet by, for example, searching for the single-use data tag in a tag store maintained by the cloud service. The collected data from the received packet is stored by the cloud service based on the validation. After validation, the tag store is updated to prevent re-use of the single-use data tag. In some embodiments, the cloud service is a location service receiving crowdsourced beacon fingerprint data from a plurality of mobile computing devices.

Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to classifying data in a main memory database system. A record access log can include a sequence of record access observations logged over a time period from a beginning time to an end time. Each of the record access observations can include a respective record ID and read timestamp. The record access log can be scanned in reverse from the end time towards the beginning time. Further, access frequency estimate data for records corresponding to record IDs read from the record access log can be calculated. The access frequency estimate data can include respective upper bounds and respective lower bounds of access frequency estimates for each of the records. Moreover, the records can be classified based on the respective upper bounds and the respective lower bounds of the access frequency estimates, such that K records can be classified as being frequently accessed records.
