Abstract: A high-frequency composite impactor including a high-frequency axial and a torsional impact assembly is disclosed. The high-frequency axial impact assembly includes an upper self-excited oscillation cavity, a lower self-excited oscillation cavity, an adjustment block and a lock nut. The torsional impact assembly includes an upper end cover, a reversing switch, a pendulum, a lower shell, a lower end cover, a nozzle, a connecting block and a retaining ring. The high-frequency axial impact assembly converts the flowing drilling fluid into a pulsed jet to achieve a high-frequency axial impact. The torsional impact assembly enables a torsional impact through a shunt, and finally enables a high-frequency composite impact, which can effectively reduce the stick-slip of the drill string, jump drilling and other downhole accidents. By reducing the friction between the drill string and the borehole wall, the impactor can reduce WOB loss, increase the ROP, and improve the drilling efficiency.

Abstract: A technique manages access to a B-tree structure within a data storage apparatus. The B-tree structure maintains mappings of data blocks of a file system to data blocks of a snapshot storage area. The technique involves imposing a lock on the B-tree structure in response to a snapshot operation which copies a contiguous range of file system data blocks to a set of snapshot data blocks to save primary data of the file system as snapshot data. The technique further involves inserting multiple objects into the B-tree structure while the lock is imposed, each object including a key value which (i) identifies a respective file system data block of the contiguous range and (ii) operates as a search key to facilitate searching of nodes of the B-tree structure. The technique further involves releasing the lock imposed on the B-tree structure after the objects have been inserted into the B-tree structure.

Abstract: A technique performs a write operation. The technique involves receiving, after a snapshot of a file system is taken, a write instruction to write new data to a particular portion of the file system. The technique further involves includes reading, in response to the write instruction, metadata to determine whether the new data is a first update of the particular portion since the snapshot was taken. The metadata identifies portions of the file system which have changed since the snapshot was taken. The technique further involves, when the new data is a first update of the particular portion since the snapshot was taken, copying the original data from cache memory (i.e., from the file system buffer cache) to snapshot storage (i.e., to a dedicated save area) and, after the original data is copied, updating the original data in the cache memory with the new data.
