Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for indexing information stored in data-stores. The system receives a new index request. The system creates an index in response to the request. The new index includes at least one segment, a first flag, and a last flag. Each segment comprises index summary information. The system then stores the index in memory.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for storing and retrieving information are provided. The system receives information. Thereafter, the system organizes the information for optimal storage and retrieval based on qualities of a storage medium. The organizing may include optimizing the information for sequential read and/or write access. The information may be organized in an append-only manner. Once the information has been organized, the apparatus presents and/or stores the organized information.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system, and computer program product for transaction representation in append-only data-stores. The system receives input from a user or agent and begins a transaction involving at least one datastore based on the received input. The system then creates, updates, and maintains a transaction state. The system ends the transaction and writes the state of the transaction to memory in an append-only manner, wherein the state comprises append-only key and value files.

Abstract: Methods and systems for mapping user-defined identities in data communication networks. By mapping and translating identities based on a calling party identifier, a called party identifier, and the carrier instance, enhanced communication services are enabled. Enhanced communication services offer virtual private phone numbers, shared group numbers, and interconnection between different voice and messaging services and applications.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for in-situ serialization and deserialization of objects and/or types. A received object nad/or type is serialized by accessing a meta schema of cached object and type handlers formed as part of a run-time analysis of a plurality of such objects and types. Serialization is performed at run-time based on the meta schema, including referencing the cached plurality of handlers. A received object or type is deserialized by accessing a meta schema having similar cached object and type handlers formed as part of a run-time analysis of a plurality of objects and types. Deserialization is performed at run-time based on a serialization protocol and meta schema, including referencing the cached handlers.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for in-place object model analysis and traversal of third party objects/types in a cloud-based environment. Information is received from a third party system, including a plurality of third party objects and/or types. The information may pertain to both run-time structure and/or compile time structure. The received objects/types are analyzed at run-time without accessing the third party object model and/or source code. A re-usable meta schema is created and cached based on the analysis, including determining attributes, methods or supertypes for the objects/types. A type hierarchy may be pre-computed for the plurality of analyzed object models. The re-usable meta schema may then be used for run-time object/type traversal without accessing the third party object model/source code.
