  • Sampling for preprocessing big data based on features of transformation results
    Patent number: 10459942
    Abstract: A system determines samples of datasets that are typically processed by big data analysis systems. The samples are for use for development and testing of transformations for preprocessing the datasets in preparation for analysis by big data systems. The system receives one or more transform operations input datasets for the transform operations. The system determines samples associated with the transform operations. According to a sampling strategy, the system determines samples that return at least a threshold number of records in the result set obtained by applying a transformation. According to another sampling strategy, the system receives criteria describing the result of the transform operations and determines sample sets that generate result sets satisfying the criteria as a result of applying the transform operations.
    Type: Grant

  • Mechanism for supporting user content feeds
    Patent number: 8554944
    Abstract: In one embodiment, for each one of one or more content producers, access a content-producing rate at which the content producer produces one or more items of content; and for each one of one or more content consumers, access a content-consuming rate at which the content consumer consumes one or more items of content. For each one of a plurality of consumer-producer pairs, wherein the consumer-producer pair comprises one of the content consumers and one of the content producers, and the content consumer follows the content producer, select between a push strategy and a pull strategy for delivering one or more items of content from the content producer to the content consumer based on the content-consuming rate of the content consumer and the content-producing rate of the content producer.
