  • Patent number: 11966368
    Abstract: The subject technology selects a particular zone among multiple zones based on a target skew to meet a global balancing of cluster instances. The subject technology deploys a particular type of cluster instance to the particular zone. The subject technology, for each zone from the multiple zones, determines a respective number of cluster instances. The subject technology identifies a second particular type of cluster instance to add based on a total number of the second particular type of cluster instance in the multiple zones and a second total number of the particular type of cluster instance in the multiple zones. The subject technology adds the second particular type of cluster instance to a second particular zone to meet the global balancing of cluster instances in the multiple zones.

  • Publication number: 20240061709
    Abstract: Techniques described herein can optimize usage of computing resources in a data system. Dynamic throttling can be performed locally on a computing resource in the foreground and autoscaling can be performed in a centralized fashion in the background. Dynamic throttling can lower the load without overshooting while minimizing oscillation and reducing the throttle quickly. Autoscaling may involve scaling in or out the number of computing resources in a cluster as well as scaling up or down the type of computing resources to handle different types of situations.

  • Publication number: 20230305928
    Abstract: The subject technology selects a candidate compute service manager from a set of instances of compute service managers to issue a query restart by selecting an execution node, the execution node being included in a particular virtual warehouse associated with the candidate compute service manager, the selecting facilitating improving utilization of cluster resources and improving query execution on the selected candidate compute service manager. The subject technology receives a notification indicating that a particular compute service manager has been quiesced. The subject technology determines a set of jobs that are not yet scheduled for execution and eligible for query retry. The subject technology determines a second set of jobs from the set of jobs to send at least another compute service manager for execution. The subject technology sends the second set of jobs to at least another compute service manager for execution.

  • Patent number: 11372820
    Abstract: The subject technology determines, after a period of time elapses over a periodic segment of time, an imbalance of cluster instances deployed in multiple zones based on a threshold value, the cluster instances including different types of clusters associated with compute service manager instances. The subject technology identifies a particular type of cluster instance to include in a particular zone from the multiple zones. The subject technology adds the particular type of cluster instance to the particular zone to meet a global balancing of cluster instances in the multiple zones. The subject technology determines, after a second period of time elapses over the periodic segment of time, that a number of cluster instances deployed in the multiple zones is below the threshold value indicating a current balance of cluster instances in the multiple zones.

  • Patent number: 7805676
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide for enhanced calendaring functionality in a collaboration suite application. A mini-calendar display in different views of the collaboration suite application provide for an easy way to view, edit and/or add appointments without needing to open of the calendar in the collaboration suite application. Email messages can be dragged onto days in the mini-calendar to create meeting proposals. Enhanced UI allows for different meetings being having different appearances based on whether they have been accepted, rejected, etc. Multiple calendars can be viewed simultaneously and their cumulative availability for any time slot can be easily seen via a calendar thermometer. Requests for sharing of calendars can be communicated via email messages, and they can be seamlessly responded to within the email message itself.

  • Patent number: 7596594
    Abstract: System and method for displaying and/or acting upon email conversations across folders. In one embodiment, email messages are grouped into conversations regardless of the folders in which the messages reside. Such conversations can span multiple folders. In one embodiment, all or some messages from a conversation are displayed, along with the folder associated with each message. In one embodiment, specified actions can be taken upon all messages in a conversation regardless of the folders in which the messages reside. In one embodiment, it can be specified that an action should apply (or not apply) only to messages in select folders, or that the action should apply only to messages matching a search query. Such specifications may be a system-level indication (which may be set by the system developer or administrator) or it may be a user indication (either a default user setting or an explicit user comment).
