Abstract: A method to assist with processing distributed jobs by retrieving and/or synchronizing supplemental job data. The method includes receiving a request pertaining to a job from a first virtualized execution environment using a non-persistent connection between the first virtualized execution environment and a second virtualized execution environment, transmitting, by the secondary machine using a persistent connection between the first virtualized execution environment and the second virtualized execution environment, a task request for supplemental information pertaining to the job, generating a job result for the job based on the supplemental information received from the first virtualized execution environment via the persistent connection, and transmitting, to the first virtualized execution environment, the job result for the job using the non-persistent connection.

Abstract: Systems and methods for locating a file created by a process running in a LINUX container and a corresponding LINUX system are provided, where the method can include: obtaining access to a top level of a host's filesystem having one or more mounted volumes therein; establishing a connection to a system for managing containers; obtaining, from the system for managing containers, a list of containers having the mounted volumes; and matching a file in the filesystem hierarchy to the container by using sources of the mounted volumes. A system for carrying out these methods can be arranged on the host and the system for managing containers can be either on or off-host. These systems and methods allow a less complex and costly means to locate files on mounted volumes of containers without recourse to a logging library (e.g., sidecar) or log forwarder.

Abstract: A method to assist with processing distributed jobs by retrieving and/or synchronizing supplemental job data. The method includes receiving a request to perform a job and opening a first connection (e.g., persistent connection) between a primary machine and a secondary machine, and transmitting by the primary machine a request pertaining to the job to the secondary machine using a second connection, the job to be performed by the secondary machine. The method also includes receiving by the primary machine using the second connection a task request for supplemental information pertaining to the job, transmitting by the primary machine a task response including the supplemental information to the secondary machine, and receiving a job result for the job using the second connection.

Abstract: A method to assist with processing distributed jobs by retrieving and/or synchronizing supplemental job data. The method includes receiving a request to perform a job and opening a long-lived connection and a short-lived connection between a primary machine and a secondary machine, and transmitting by the primary machine a request pertaining to the job to the secondary machine using the short-lived connection, the job to be performed by the secondary machine. The method also includes receiving by the primary machine using the long-lived connection a task request for supplemental information pertaining to the job, transmitting by the primary machine a task response including the supplemental information to the secondary machine, and receiving a job result for the job using the short-lived connection.
