Publication number: 20220114153Abstract: A shared-nothing database system is provided in which parallelism and workload balancing are increased by assigning the rows of each table to “slices”, and storing multiple copies (“duplicas”) of each slice across the persistent storage of multiple nodes of the shared-nothing database system. When the data for a table is distributed among the nodes of a shared-nothing system in this manner, requests to read data from a particular row of the table may be handled by any node that stores a duplica of the slice to which the row is assigned. For each slice, a single duplica of the slice is designated as the “primary duplica”. All DML operations (e.g. inserts, deletes, updates, etc.) that target a particular row of the table are performed by the node that has the primary duplica of the slice to which the particular row is assigned. The changes made by the DML operations are then propagated from the primary duplica to the other duplicas (“secondary duplicas”) of the same slice.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2020Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: Jesse Kamp, Allison L.

Patent number: 11288252Abstract: Example implementations disclosed herein can be used to build, maintain, and access databases built database in multi-core computing systems with large VRAM and huge NVRAM. The database with optimistic concurrency control can be built on a transactional key-value data store that includes logically equivalent data pages stored in both VRAM and VRAM. Data records in volatile data pages in the VRAM represent the most recent version of the data. Data records in the NVRAM immutable and are organized in a stratified composite snapshot. A distributed log gleaner process is used to process log entries corresponding to transactions on the volatile data pages and construct the snapshot. The log gleaner sorts the log entries by epoch, key range, and most recent use to partition the snapshot across multiple nodes.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventor: Hideaki Kimura

Publication number: 20210390075Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing latency of probing operations of remotely located linear hash tables are described herein. In an embodiment, a system receives a request to perform a probing operation on a remotely located linear hash table based on a key value. Prior to performing the probing operation, the system dynamically predicts a number of slots for a single read of the linear hash table to minimize total cost for an average probing operation. The system determines a hash value based on the key value and determines a slot of the linear hash table to which the hash value corresponds. After predicting the number of slots, the system issues an RDMA request to perform a read of the predicted number of slots from the linear hash table starting at the slot to which the hash value corresponds.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Tinggang Wang, Shuo Yang, Hideaki Kimura, Garret F.

Patent number: 11100083Abstract: Example implementations disclosed herein include techniques for a ready only bufferpool for use in local nodes of a multi-node computing system. Read only transactions executed by a processor can reference a ready only bufferpool resident in a VRAM on the same node. If the desired data page is in the bufferpool the transaction can immediately read data records from the cached data pages. If the desired data page is not in the bufferpool, then the transaction can cause a copy of a corresponding data page in a secondary memory to be installed in the bufferpool. The bufferpool can include more than one copy of a data page simultaneously to handle and prevent cache line misses. Data page are dropped from the bufferpool based on an incrementing per data page counter.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventor: Hideaki Kimura
