Abstract: Optimistic concurrency may be implemented for multiple writers to a database. Writes to a database from different writers may succeed unless a conflict is detected at the data store for the database. For detected conflicts, a request to resolve the conflict between writes may be submitted to a primary writer, which may determine and provide a resolution of the conflict to the conflicting writers. The data store may then be updated to commit the selected write identified by the resolution of the conflict.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and user interfaces for generating a soundtrack using integrated live data from an information system. In this way, the audio presentation for an organization can be automated utilizing meaningful data that is converted into unique sounds based on defined criteria that results in an almost endless culmination of songs providing a story unique to the organization. To do so, data is aggregated from a number of sources (e.g., analytics data, network activity, and the like). The data is converted into observables that can influence the selection of a base track comprising a measure of notes. A soundtrack is generated by applying the observables to the base track, the observables causing changes in one or more of the measure of notes, scale, tonic, tempo, or volume of the soundtrack.

Abstract: In an approach, a primary data center is provided including primary source and primary target database systems, where a function is activated causing the primary target database system to: include a copy of data and receive analysis queries from the primary source database system; and execute the analysis queries on data. A processor, in response to detecting a failure in the primary source database system: offloads queries intended for the primary source database system to a secondary source database system of a secondary data center also including a secondary target database system and a copy of data, where the function is deactivated. A processor, responsive to the primary target database system being available: receives analysis queries, processed by the secondary source database system, of the offloaded queries; and copies data to the secondary target database system. A processor causes the function to be activated in the secondary data center.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a file system process obtaining locks on a first node and a second node in a tree structure, with the second node being a child node of the first node. The file system process determines a quantity of child nodes of the second. While holding the locks on the first and second nodes, the file system determines whether to proactively split or merge the second node. In response to determining that the quantity of child nodes is within a first range, the file system process splits the second node. If the file system process determines that the quantity of child nodes is within a second range, the file system process merges the second node.
