  • Patent number: 12235794
    Abstract: A system can comprise a processor and a memory that can store executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising attaching a protection policy associated with a rule to a storage object, wherein the rule can be applicable to prevent redundant snapshot creation. The operations can further comprise, in response to the attaching of the protection policy to the storage object, triggering creation of a first snapshot and a second snapshot of the storage object. The operations can further comprise detecting any uniquely allocated storage regions between the first snapshot and the second snapshot. The operations can further comprise, based on a determination of whether any extra bits of the any uniquely allocated storage regions are unallocated or zeroed out, determining whether to prevent a third creation of a third snapshot external to the first snapshot and the second snapshot.

  • Patent number: 12222945
    Abstract: Solutions are disclosed that enable efficient federated graph queries across multiple isolated data stores. Examples leverage the connectedness of the expected data that spans the data stores by defining the entities and relationships and inferring the intent of the queries. These are used to optimize data searches in the individual data stores. Examples map each of two or more variables of the input query to elements of a public schema and use the mapping to determining a storage tag (identifying a data store) for each of the variables of the input query. Store-specific queries are scheduled and performed based on at least the storage tags.

  • Patent number: 12210527
    Abstract: Techniques for active invalidation of cache entries are described. A first timestamp and a second timestamp are stored by a compute instance, the first timestamp corresponding to an initial time the computing instance read from a version update log in a database and the second timestamp corresponding to a last time the computing instance read from the version update log in the database. The compute instance can read records from the version update log that are associated with version timestamps greater than the second timestamp. The compute instance can invalidate a first set of cache entries with older versions stored in a cache based on reading the records, retaining a second set of cache entries, and then execute a query using the second set of cache entries.
