Abstract: Method and apparatus for template-based processing of electronic documents is described. In some examples, text content of the electronic documents is analyzed to identify whether each of the electronic documents matches any of a plurality of document templates. A template index is generated that relates at least one of the electronic documents with at least one of the plurality of document templates associated therewith. A search query is generated using at least one of the plurality of document templates as a respective at least one search parameter. An archive having the electronic documents is searched using the template index to locate any of the electronic documents that match the at least one document template of the search query.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing information to mitigate a current failure in a datacenter is described. The method comprises processing historical data regarding at least one failure. The historical data includes at least one action related to the at least one failure. The method further includes determining information for mitigating the current failure based on the historical data.

Abstract: An efficient distributed transaction protocol for a distributed file sharing system is described. One embodiment of the protocol involves a transaction coordinator node sending three messages to participant nodes, where the participant nodes reply to only two of those messages. In one embodiment, the transaction coordinator node may return success to the client application after receiving replies to the second message from the participant nodes. The protocol may provide benefits associated with traditional three-phase commit (3PC) protocols while also decreasing response time latencies experienced by client applications and decreasing network traffic.
