  • Publication number: 20240111722
    Abstract: Deleting directories in a virtual distributed file system (VDFS), and non-virtual file systems, involves changing the name of a selected directory to a unique object identifier (UID) and moving the selected directory, named according to the UID, to a deletion target directory. A recursive process, implemented using a background deletion thread, starts in the current directory and identifies objects in the current directory. For an object that is a file or an empty directory, the object is added to a deletion queue. For an object that is a directory that is not empty, the recursion drops down into that directory as the new current directory. When the recursion has exhausted the selected directory, or some maximum object count has been reached, the objects identified in the deletion queue are deleted. This approach can also be used for file operations other than deletion, such as compression, encryption, and hashing.

  • Patent number: 11841826
    Abstract: Techniques for efficiently managing a file clone from a filesystem which supports efficient volume snapshots are provided. In some embodiments, a system may receive an instruction to remove the file clone from the filesystem. The file clone may be a point-in-time copy of metadata of an original file. The system may further—for a file map entry in a filesystem tree associated with the file clone, the file map entry indicating a data block—decrement a reference count in a reference count entry associated with the file map entry. The reference count entry may be stored in the filesystem tree according to a key and the key may comprise an identification of the original file. The system may further reclaim the data block in a storage system when the reference count is zero.

  • Publication number: 20230394553
    Abstract: Transaction modification based on modeled profiles is described. In an example, transaction data can be received from merchant computing devices associated with merchants associated with a payment processing system. A model can be trained to generate profiles using, as training data, one or more of merchant data, buyer data, or the transaction data. Upon receiving an indication of a particular transaction between a buyer and a merchant, it can be determined that a characteristic of the transaction corresponds to a profile of the generated profiles. Based on the determination that the characteristic corresponds to the profile and the transaction data, a recommendation can be generated for a modification of the transaction to add an item or replace an item.

  • Patent number: 11755537
    Abstract: Optimizing file access includes a process for identifying a file access event for a first accessed file, and incrementing a first access counter in an access list in a memory, which also includes access counters for other accessed files. The process further includes exporting the first access counter to a performance monitoring dashboard, or exporting to a storage allocator and, based on the value, moving the first accessed file between a first storage and a second storage. The process also includes determining whether the value of the first access counter meets a first threshold, or a sum of values of the access counters for the other accessed files meets a second threshold. Based on meeting the first threshold or meeting the second threshold, the process includes persisting the access counters on a storage media. The access counters also provide security monitoring (e.g., identifying excessive file access).

  • Publication number: 20230139759
    Abstract: Inadvertent data swaps can be prevented by measuring volume of transactions in distributed computing environment to determine locations for potential data swaps; and managing a correlation between a thread identification (ID) and transaction header (ID) for transactions in the distributed computing environment. In some embodiments, the prevention of data swaps can further include performing a data transmission interruption to avoid data swaps at the locations for potential data swaps. When the thread identification (ID) and transaction header (ID) do not match the potential for data swaps can be high.
