Abstract: Attribute value information on data blocks of a data table is provided that indicates upper and lower bounds of extreme values for an attribute of the data table. In response to determining that processing of a received data table query involves grouping of records according to a grouping attribute, it is determined whether the attribute value information reflects upper and lower bounds of extreme values of the grouping attribute. If the attribute value information indicates the upper and lower bounds of extreme values of the grouping attribute, a scan list is determined that defines which data blocks are to be scanned in a determined scan order. A set of distinct value ranges of the grouping attribute is determined based on the scan order, the data blocks are scanned using the scan list, and the query is processed.

Abstract: A prediction model generation system is provided that is capable of generating a prediction model for accurately predicting a relationship between an ID of a record in first master data and an ID of a record in second master data. Co-clustering means 71 performs co-clustering on first IDs and second IDs in accordance with first master data, second master data, and fact data indicating a relationship between each of the first IDs and each of the second IDs. Each of the first IDs serves as an ID of a record in the first master data. Each of the second IDs serves as an ID of a record in the second master data. Prediction model generation means 72 generates a prediction model for each combination of a first ID cluster and a second ID cluster. The prediction model uses the relationship between each of the first IDs and each of the second IDs as an objective variable. The first ID cluster serves as a cluster of the first IDs. The second ID cluster serves as a cluster of the second IDs.

Abstract: Adaptive database compaction technology automatically identifies cost-effective opportunities for database compaction. The adaptive compaction technology may maintain a baseline sleeve representing a performance indicator's normal range, track the current performance indicator values, and initiate compaction of a database when a compaction trigger based on at least the performance indicator occurs. The performance indicator may be a ratio of logical size to physical size, and may be based on samples from a proper subset of the database. Kernel overhead may be recognized. A low-fragmentation secondary replica may be selected, compacted, and promoted to replace the prior primary replica. Secure cloud blob storage may be used. A compaction decision may allow, delay, or even prevent compaction after the trigger is met. An automatic balance between computational costs of compaction and costs of continued database use without compaction is kept, and may be tunable by an administrator.

Abstract: One or more embodiments of a thumbnail caching system dynamically provide a thumbnail cache of digital content items (e.g., photos, videos, audio) to a user on a client device. In particular, the thumbnail caching system provides a thumbnail cache of a digital content collection to a client device such that the thumbnail cache does not exceed a threshold storage limit for the client device. In addition, the thumbnail caching system intelligently adjusts the thumbnails within the thumbnail cache to keep the size of the thumbnail cache within the threshold storage limit irrespective of the number of digital content items stored or added to the digital content collection. Further, the thumbnail caching system can dynamically adjust the size of the thumbnail cache in response to a user adding or removing external data to the client device.
