  • System and method for expression evaluation in a distributed networking environment
    Patent number: 9116713
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for evaluating expressions in a distributed networking environment. A data object associated with an expression may be retrieved. The data object may include intermediate code that is a compiled representation of the expression. A value of an identifier included in the intermediate code may be identified. The identifier may provide information about a version of a target system for which the intermediate code was compiled. A system component may determine whether the version of the target system for which the intermediate code was compiled is a current version of the target system by analyzing the value of the identifier. The intermediate code may be regenerated if the version of the target system for which the intermediate code was compiled is not current. The intermediate code might not be regenerated if the version of the target system for which the intermediate code was compiled is current.
