Patent number: 11281720Abstract: Time-series columnar-based information is received and indexed in a compute infrastructure for cost-effective cloud-based object storage. The approach leverages a file format that enables highly-performant search and retrieval of the data stored in the cloud. In operation, an indexer receives the time-series information, indexes that information according to the file format, and forwards the indexed information for storage to the object store, where it is stored as a set of time-based partitions. A partition comprises a set of files, namely, a manifest file, a data file, and an index file. These files are structured as a compact instance of a set of raw unstructured data that comprises the given partition. Highly-performant information retrieval is enabled in response to a time-bounded query, because operations at a query peer (with respect to one or more partitions) are carried out in real-time during query processing and without requiring retrieval of the data file as a whole.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Hydrolix Inc.Inventor: Hasan Alayli

Patent number: 11204958Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for personalizing new song suggestions for a user. A plurality of users provides thumbs up and thumbs down ratings for a pair of songs (song A and B). A first aggregate rating for song B is calculated based on ratings given to song A by all of the users that gave a like rating to song A. Similarly, a second aggregate rating is calculated for song B based on ratings given to song B by all users that gave a dislike rating to song A. Then a user that has not previously rated song B, supplies a rating for song A. A prediction is performed of how the user will rate song B based on the user's rating of song A. For example, the first aggregate rating for song B is used if the user rated song A positively.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: PANDORA MEDIA, LLCInventors: Tao Ye, Gordon Parker Rios

Patent number: 11194807Abstract: A query processing method. A server node parses a query request and generates a corresponding logical plan; judges the logical plan belonging to an OLAP scale query service or an OLTP scale query service; in response to judging that the logical plan belongs to the OLAP scale query service, segmenting the logical plan into logical subplans. A coordinator node generates a first physical plan corresponding to the logical plan, and feeds back the first physical plan to the server node. The server node assigns each of the logical subplans to the corresponding worker node according to the first physical plan. The worker node processes the corresponding logical subplan to obtain a query subresult, and reports the processing subresult layer by layer. The server node summarizes the received processing subresult, generates a final query result, and feeds back the final query result to a user.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Beijing Baidu Netcom Science and Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Gang Zhang, Dayu Shen

Patent number: 11194805Abstract: A query including at least a first part and a second part can be received by an electronic system. The first part of the query can indicate to access at least a first database table and a second database table to generate an intermediate result. The second part of the query can indicate to perform a sort operation on the intermediate result with respect to columns across the first database table and the second database table to produce a final result. The method further includes building execution plans for generating the intermediate result according to the first part, where the intermediate result is to be used as the final result without building an execution plan for performing the sort operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shuo Li, Xiao Xiao Chen, ShengYan Sun, Xiaobo Wang

Patent number: 11182376Abstract: Adaptive Sampling. Data comprising pairings of data value with lists of data keys are received. The range of possible values of the data keys is partitioned into unbalanced buckets, with at least two of the unbalanced buckets representing different fractions of the range. Each unbalanced bucket is assigned to a respective processing unit selected from a plurality of processing units. The pairings are processed by the processing units, with each processing unit generating an intermediate result. The intermediate results are combined to generate a comprehensive result. A sampling error is determined by scaling an unbalanced bucket's intermediate result according to its corresponding fraction and comparing the scaled intermediate result to the comprehensive result. An unbalanced bucket having a sampling error less than a sampling error threshold is selected. The selected unbalanced bucket's corresponding fraction is selected as a sampling rate for a second data processing job.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Quantcast CorporationInventor: Scott S. McCoy

Patent number: 11169959Abstract: A system may read source data corresponding to a source variable and apply a transformation to the source variable to generate an output variable. The transformation may include logic, and the output variable may be configured for ingestion into a big data storage format. The system may record lineage data of the output variable that comprises the transformation and/or the source variable. The system may also receive a request to generate a requested output variable. The requested output variable may be generated from a second transformation that is the same as the first transformation. The system may thus match the first transformation to the second transformation using the lineage data. In response to matching the first transformation to the second transformation, the system may deny the request. The original output variable may be returned in response to the matching the first transformation to the second transformation.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.Inventors: Ambika Aggarwal, Ravi Arasan, Sandeep Bose, Debasish Das, Ravi K.

Patent number: 11163743Abstract: In an approach for optimizing query executions a processor receives a request to transfer data from a first table to a second table. A processor detects a relationship between the first table and the second table, wherein the relationship is based on a similarity between the first table and the second table. A processor identifies at least a first access path for transferring the data from the first table to the second table. A processor calculates a first cost of transferring the data from the first table to the second table using the first access path based on the similarity between the first table and the second table, wherein the first cost indicates estimated processor usage to transfer the data.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shuo Li, Ping Liang, Kewei Wei, Xin Ying Yang

Patent number: 11163760Abstract: The disclosure herein describes providing a data query service to a user based on natural language request data. The natural language request data is obtained from a user interface and a query structure is populated based on the natural language request data. The query structure is compared to stored queries and, based on identifying a stored query that matches the query structure, the user is prompted to confirm or reject that the identified query be performed. Based on receiving a confirmation of the identified query from the user, the identified query is selected for performance. Alternatively, based on receiving a rejection of the identified query from the user, a query based on the query structure is generated and selected for performance. The selected query is then performed on at least one data source and query output from the performed query is provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Timothy Scott Carney, Neelima R.
