Publication number: 20240078157Abstract: In connection with a data distribution architecture, client-side “deduplication” techniques may be utilized for data transfers occurring among various file system nodes. In some examples, these deduplication techniques involve fingerprinting file system elements that are being shared and transferred, and dividing each file into separate units referred to as “blocks” or “chunks.” These separate units may be used for independently rebuilding a file from local and remote collections, storage locations, or sources. The deduplication techniques may be applied to data transfers to prevent unnecessary data transfers, and to reduce the amount of bandwidth, processing power, and memory used to synchronize and transfer data among the file system nodes. The described deduplication concepts may also be applied for purposes of efficient file replication, data transfers, and file system events occurring within and among networks and file system nodes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Matthew Dornquast, Brian Bispala, Damon Allison, Brad Armstrong, Marshall Scorcio, Rory Lonergan, Peter John Lindquist, Christopher Parker

Patent number: 9904604Abstract: Systems and techniques for a distributed file system element collection are described herein. A node may identify a state of a file system element, which is identified in a file system element definition, from a local data store. The state corresponds to a distribution action. The file system element definition is one of a plurality of file system element definitions in a collection schema of a collection to which the node is a member. The node may, in response to identifying the state of the file system element, issue a communication to some members of the collection in furtherance of completion of the distribution action. A response may be received by the node from a participant node in the list of participant nodes. The node may complete the distribution action using content from the response.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: Code 42 Software, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Dornquast, Brian Bispala, Marshall Scorcio, Brad Armstrong, Peter Lindquist, Christopher Parker

Publication number: 20170315876Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are predictive storage techniques for use in a distributed data system. The predictive storage techniques may be used to manage locally stored elements of a shared data collection, such as the storage of files on nodes of the distributed data system that are limited in local storage space. The predictive storage techniques may achieve a balance between consumption of local resources and timely access of important elements in the shared data collection. For example, the predictive storage techniques may be used for keeping or pre-caching certain items of a collection that are determined as likely to be used in local storage for convenient access, and allowing access the remaining items on request over a network.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2017Publication date: November 2, 2017Inventors: Matthew Dornquast, Brian Bispala, Samuel Schroeder, Christopher Gwinn, Justin Grammens, Thomas Lindquist, Peter Lindquist

Publication number: 20160094649Abstract: Node-to-Node data distribution is described herein. A node may receive a set of peer nodes from a collection authority node that is managing a collection. The node and the set of peer nodes are members of the collection. The node may select a subset of peer nodes from the set of peer nodes. The node may attempt to establish communications with each of the subset of peer nodes, connected peers being those peers where the attempt was successful. The node may synchronize an event stream with each connected peer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2014Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventors: Matthew Dornquast, Brian Bispala, Damon Allison, Rory Lonergan, Bret McGuire, Justin Grammens, Peter Lindquist

Publication number: 20020165907Abstract: A web application event framework which allows for robust, fully functional web-enabled applications based on real-time interactivity. A web server creates proxies which establish persistent listening objects between a web browser and an application server. The web browser hosts the listener application, as well as a publisher application and the web application event framework, preferably in different HTML frames. Upon request from a user, the web application event framework start controller creates a session object which establishes a persistent connection between the web browser and the web server and maintains a session state. The session object creates one or more application instance objects, which maintain an application state specific to the functionality of the application. The web application event framework application creates a listener to listen for a specific set of events, and each event is published to the web server through the established session object connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2001Publication date: November 7, 2002Inventors: Matthew Dornquast, Hugh Cumming, Brian Bispala, Mitch Coopet
