Patent number: 11461201Abstract: Systems and methods include a set of delta copies received from cluster node replicas of a replica set and stored on a main data storage on the cloud. A cloud storage service internally replicates the data from the delta copies and provides fault-tolerance and high availability against storage failures. All cluster node replicas participate in a delta copies merge. Each replica writes their deltas to an independent location in a shared storage on the cloud. Then, the delta merge includes deltas from all replicas when building a new main storage. This ensures that the data from all replicas are included in the delta merge.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Jeffrey Pound, Hemant Saxena

Patent number: 10984029Abstract: A bit vector having a bit vector length is accessed. A select operator directory tree can be generated using the bit vector. The select operator directory tree includes a first level of superblocks including large superblocks and small superblocks, a second level of blocks including large blocks and small blocks, each block associated with one of the superblocks, and a third level of sub-blocks, each sub-block associated with a block. The large superblocks each have, a length greater than a first constant that is independent of the bit vector length and the large blocks each have a length greater than a second constant that is independent of the bit vector length. The select operator directory tree can be stored. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Daniela Maftuleac, Alejandro Lopez-Ortiz, Jeffrey Pound, Alejandro Salinger

Patent number: 10366106Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for quorum-based replication of data records. In one embodiment, a read request for reading a record is received from a user node on a replica node of a cluster of replica nodes. The record is then determined not committed on the replica node. In response to the determination, an update message indicative of whether the number of replica nodes on which the record is durable exceeds a threshold is received on the replica node. In response to the number of replica nodes exceeds the threshold, a value of the record on the replica node is transmitted to the user node.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Hua Fan, Jeffrey Pound, Peter Bumbulis, Anil Kumar Goel, Scott MacLean, Nathan Auch, Eric Garber

Patent number: 9807168Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for accessing a distributed shared log that supports a total order over log writes and multiple logical log streams. An embodiment operates by selecting a range of log entries for a logical log stream from the distributed shared log and mapping the selected range of log entries to associated storage units in a plurality of storage units. The selected range of log entries are stored at the associated storage units according to metadata that indexes the selected range of log entries by logical log stream. The selected range of log entries are then requested from the associated storage units based on the mapping. The selected range of log entries for the logical log stream are then returned from the associated storage units based on a scan of the metadata. The received log entries are then reassembled.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2015Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Nathan Auch, Peter Bumbulis, Anil Goel, Jeffrey Pound
