  • Storing update data using a processing pipeline
    Patent number: 8311982
    Abstract: A system has a processing pipeline with a plurality of processing stages, where each of the processing stages has one or plural processors, and where the processing stages are individually and independently scalable. A first of the processing stages of the processing pipeline provides a received date update into an update data structure, where the update data structure is accessible to process a query received by the system. One or more additional of the processing stages transforms the update data structure to allow for merging of the transformed update data structure into a database, where the transformed update data structure is accessible to process the query. Content of the transformed update data structure is stored into the database.
