Abstract: An approach for gathering, encoding and transmitting histogram data mitigates the need for transmission resources by compressing the gathered data in a lossless, stateless manner for transmission. A generally sparse data set benefits from an encoding mechanism based on a bit plane arrangement of the raw data. The approach organizes bit planes in a sequential manner, and then encodes values based on intervals of non-zero bit positions. By traversing a sequential string based on the bit plane, each “run” of zeroes tends to produce relatively small values, easing encoding burdens, but also accommodated larger values when necessary. A selective encoding technique invokes different encoding processes based on the magnitude of the interval, to allow use of an encoding that stores each respective value in the fewest bits. Different encoding techniques are applied based on ranges of the interval magnitude, or zero run.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a characteristic for media content. A number of entropy slots is determined that is based on the characteristic for the media content. An entropy slot in the media content is where a segment from a first version of the media content or a second version of the media content can be delivered. The method creates the first version of the media content having a first number of segments and creates the second version of the media content having a second number of segments based on the number of entropy slots. The second number of segments that correspond to the number of entropy slots is less than the first number of segments. The first version of the media content and the second version of the media content is output to create different sequences of segments that are attributable to different requests.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for implementing high-availability file services in a clustered computing environment. Two or more clusters are interconnected to carry out operations for replication of file content between file servers. The file servers and their respective network links are registered with a file server witness. The file servers operate in synchrony, where each file I/O is replicated from one file server to another file server over a first set of network paths. A file server witness communicates with each file server using a second set of two or more network paths interfaced with respective file servers. The file server witness monitors the file servers to determine operational health of the file servers. Upon receipt of a file I/O request, the file I/O request is directed to one of the two file servers based at least in part on the determined operational health.

Abstract: One example method includes receiving stream data batches at a client node. The client node determines if the stream data batches are compressible. For the compressible stream data batches, a request is sent to a server node for an on-demand stream compression service, the request including an indicator of a stream data type for the compressible data batches. The on-demand stream compression service is deployed and launched at the client node. The on-demand stream compression service includes a compressor pool of compressors that are able to compress the stream data type of the compressible stream data batches. A compressor of the compressor pool is selected and used to compress the compressible stream data batches. The compressed stream data batches are sent to the server node.

Abstract: Techniques are described for streaming (e.g., low-latency streaming) of media content by performing sender-based adaptive bit rate control operations. The operations can include streaming a media stream to a streaming client. While streaming the media stream, an outgoing queue of buffered streaming content to be sent to the streaming client can be monitored. When a step down condition is satisfied, based at least in part on the monitoring, a switch can be made to a lower bit rate media stream for streaming to the streaming client. When a step up condition is satisfied, based at least in part on the monitoring, a switch can be made to a higher bit rate media stream for streaming to the streaming client. The operations are performed without receiving any quality feedback from the streaming client and without measuring bandwidth of the network channel.

Abstract: A recovery workflow is part of an automated management service for bare metal hosts allocated for single-tenant operation in a multi-tenant environment. The health of the hosts is monitored using a set of health criteria. If it is detected that one of the host machines fails a health check then a host recovery workflow can be initiated. As part of the workflow, the failed host can be repurposed or retired. A spare host class can be used to obtain a new host to take over for the failed host. Once deployed, the operation of the new host can be tested. Upon passing the test, the new host can take over for the failed host. A new host resource can be automatically requested to be added to the spare host class in order to ensure that there are sufficient resources available in case of an additional failure.

Abstract: A method performs large-scale data processing in a distributed and parallel processing environment. The method defines application-independent map and reduce operations, each invoking one or more library functions that automatically handle data partitioning, parallelization of computations, and fault tolerance. A user specifies a map operation, which calls one or more of the application-independent map operators to perform data read and write operations. A user also specifies a reduce operation, which calls one or more of the application-independent reduce operators to perform data read and write operations. The method executes application-independent map worker processes. Each map worker process executes the user-specified map operation to read designated portions of input files and store intermediate data values in intermediate data structures. The method also executes application-independent reduce worker processes.
