  • Patent number: 11954096
    Abstract: A system and method are presented that utilize facet modifications to alter user input values to perform a facet search on a found set of data records. The facet modifications are associated with item records, such as by using type attributes. Facet modifications can be associated with query information that is utilized to create a query on a user interface. Input received from the query is then modified according to the facet modifier in order to create facet search parameters. The facet search parameters are used to perform a facet search to narrow the found set of item records. In some embodiments, facet modifications are stored in facet modifier records. Multiple facet modifications can be stored in a single facet modifier record. A single query input can be manipulated by multiple facet modifications to create separate facet search parameters.

  • Patent number: 11934398
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for optimizing selection of a cached execution plan to use in processing a parametric query. For example, systems described herein involve training a plan selection model that makes use of machine learning to identify an execution plan from a set of pre-selected execution plans based on predicted cost of executing a query instance in accordance with the selected execution plan (e.g., relative to predicted costs of executing the query instance using other pre-selected execution plans). This application describes features related to lowering costs associated with selecting the execution plan in a way that will continue to be more accurate overtime based on training and refining the plan selection model.

  • Patent number: 11899663
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a solution is provided that aggregates records as they are submitted to a third party (on the write path) rather than performing a real-time aggregation when a request is processed that needs the aggregation (read path). More particularly, in an example embodiment, a caching layer is introduced that avoids having to read all usage events to compute an aggregation when a request is received for aggregated data. The caching layer maintains values for various metrics that require aggregation.
