  • Patent number: 11537556
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for optimized content object storage service for large scale content. A content object file is created. An index entry for the content object file is created with a content object key and a content object location. The content object file is appended to an aggregated file on a storage node. In response to a request to retrieve the content object file from the aggregated file, the content object key is used to access the content object location that describes the storage node, a name of the aggregated file, an offset into the aggregated file, and a size of the content object file to retrieve the content object file.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10652322
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for event processing in a content management system. In response to determining that an inter-dependence exists between two or more events in the content management system, a same group event key is assigned to each inter-dependent event. All events having the same group event key are distributed to a same event processing node on a consistent hashing ring.

  • Patent number: 10346850
    Abstract: A case creation event originating from an external content repository is detected by a processor executing an inbound event handler of a distributed integration framework that integrates a case management system with the external content repository. The case creation event is configured by the distributed integration framework to cause creation of a case within the case management system. The inbound event handler instructs the case management system to create the case within the case management system. An outbound event handler of the distributed integration framework instructs the external content repository to create a proxy case to remotely represent the case created within the case management system.
