Patent number: 10922285Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a distributed parallel processing database system that persists table data in memory to a distributed file system. A distributed parallel processing database system persists table data in memory to a distributed file system. A parameter of creating a database table specifies that data records in the database table and history of changes to the data records can be stored in memory as well as in the distributed file system. When the database table is populated or otherwise modified, data records and the history in memory are evicted to the distributed file system as log files and removed from memory. The log files can be designated as write-only, where the data records, once written, cannot be read by structured query language (SQL) queries, or as read-write, where the data records, once written, can be read by SQL queries.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2017Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Pivotal Software, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Allen Smith, Anthony M. Baker, Sumedh Wale, Hemant Bhanawat, Jagannathan Ramnarayanan, Swapnil Prakash Bawaskar, Ashvin Agrawal, Neeraj Kumar

Patent number: 10382549Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for distributed data management. One of the methods includes maintaining, by a first member in a distributed data management system having multiple computing members installed on multiple respective computers, a first garbage collection version vector that includes, for each member in the distributed data management system, a garbage collection version that represents a number of garbage collection processes performed by the member on a respective copy of a replicated data region maintained by the member in the data management system. If the first garbage collection version vector is different than a second garbage collection version vector received from a different provider member, a first replication process is performed that is different than a second replication process that is performed when the first garbage collection version vector matches the second garbage collection version vector.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2014Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Pivotal Software, Inc.Inventors: Sumedh Wale, Neeraj Kumar, Daniel Allen Smith, Jagannathan Ramnarayanan, Suranjan Kumar, Hemant Bhanawat, Anthony M.

Patent number: 10223256Abstract: A distributed parallel processing database that processes data in a Java environment allocates memory both on a Java heap and off a Java heap. The distributed parallel processing database includes multiple servers. Each server executes a Java virtual machine (JVM) in which data allocated to the server is processed. When a JVM of a server starts, the JVM can specify an off-heap memory size, based on a JVM start parameter. The server can designate memory of the specified size that is off JVM memory heap as off-heap memory. The off-heap memory is different from heap memory in the Java environment, and is managed by a garbage collector that is outside of the Java environment. The server can process data designated as off-heap memory eligible in the off-heap memory. The off-heap memory can improve database operations that create a large number of similar-sized objects in memory by reducing Java memory management overhead.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2014Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Pivotal Software, Inc.Inventors: Darrel Scott Schneider, Hitesh Khamesra, Asif Hussain Shahid, Jagannathan Ramnarayanan, Sudhir Menon, Kirk Van Lund, Lynn Gallinat

Patent number: 9922101Abstract: Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for federated service requests of a logical data store comprising a plurality of heterogeneous data stores. The method includes providing a data abstraction services layer as a control plane for federated service requests of a logical data store, comprising a plurality of heterogeneous data stores, by an application operating on a processing device, receiving a service request at the data abstraction services layer from the application operating on the processing device directed to the logical data store, and returning results of the service request from the data abstraction services layer to the application operating on the processing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: David Stephen Reiner, Nihar K. Nanda, John D. Hushon, Jr., David R. Brown, Jagannathan Ramnarayanan
