  • Systems and methods for key-value stores
    Patent number: 10740290
    Abstract: Data storage in a distributed computing system may involve the implementation of key/value stores across multiple storage structures of the distributed computing system, where a key may represent an index and a value may represent an object to store and/or retrieve. A given key/value store may be accessed by multiple compute nodes of the distributed computing system. Duplication and/or versioning may be implemented in or across one or more of the key/value stores.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 11, 2020
    Assignee: JETFLOW TECHNOLOGIES
    Inventors: Brian E. Heilig, Guang R. Gao, Brian Phillips, Adam Markey
  • Flowlet-based processing with key/value store checkpointing
    Patent number: 9838242
    Abstract: A data processing task may be implemented in a distributed computing system by the use of a workflow broken into flowlets that are arranged in a directed acyclic graph between data sources and data sinks. Such an arrangement may include various flow control and/or fault tolerance schemes, among other features. Fault tolerance may be implemented using key/value store (KVS) flowlets.
