Publication number: 20150134839Abstract: A system automatically maintains a plurality of client connections associated with a plurality of clients, the plurality of client connections including active and idle connections. A first server receives a request from a client of the plurality of clients to access a second server of a plurality of second servers communicatively coupled to the first server, the plurality of second servers having varying communication protocols. The first server then identifies a first communication protocol associated with the second server and activating a link between the first server and the second server using the first communication protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2015Publication date: May 14, 2015Inventors: Christopher J.

Patent number: 8996534Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for custom caching. Application threads define caches. The caches may be accessed through multiple index keys, which are mapped to multiple application thread-defined keys. Methods provide for the each index key and each application thread-defined key to be symmetrical. The index keys are used for loading data from one or more data sources into the cache stores on behalf of the application threads. Application threads access the data from the cache store by providing references to the caches and the application-supplied keys. Some data associated with some caches may be shared from the cache store by multiple application threads. Additionally, some caches are exclusively accessed by specific application threads.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Christopher J.

Patent number: 8898147Abstract: There are provided systems and methods to respond to a request for data. The system receives a request to search for the data based on a criterion and to populate data objects with the data. The request is further used to identify columns that determine data sources to query. The system performs a search of a logical table based on the criterion to identify a plurality of rows in the logical table. The system further generates a first plurality of tuples based on the plurality of rows to identify a first plurality of physical tables that are mapped to the logical table. The first plurality of tuples includes a first tuple and a second tuple. The system further queries the data sources for the data to generate results by using the first plurality of tuples. The queries of the data sources are partially successful.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Greg Seitz, Christopher J. Kasten

Patent number: 8732719Abstract: Methods and system for managing resource connections are described. In one embodiment, an initial user request to access data stored at a resource is received. The initial user request is generated by an application of a plurality of applications having access to the resource. An existing connection from the application is utilized to provide the data to the application. A current user request to access data stored at the resource is received. Based on a determination that the existing connection is unavailable, the current user request is assigned to a waiter queue. A number of requests assigned to the waiter queue during a pre-defined time period is determined to exceed a threshold. A new connection from the application to the resource is created based on the availability of a further connection to the resource and the exceeding of the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2013Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Christopher J.
