Patent number: 9626422Abstract: Systems and methods for reslicing data in a representation of a relational database are disclosed. In one embodiment, the database includes a representation including a first slice. The database system creates a plurality of new slice and to create a plurality of write queues. The database system copies units of data in the first slice to the new slices according to a distribution function. The distribution function determines, for each unit of data in the first slice, one of the new slices into which to copy the unit of data. The database system asynchronously writes one or more actions of a set of one or more asynchronous database transactions to the first slice when copying the data in the first slice to the new slices. The database asynchronously enqueues the one or more actions of the set of asynchronous database transactions in the write queues according to the distribution function.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: Clustrix, Inc.Inventors: Jason Frantz, Sergei Tsarev, Jim Gale, Scott Smith, Dan Adkins

Patent number: 9477741Abstract: Systems and methods for redistributing data in a relational database are disclosed. In one embodiment, the database includes a plurality of rows of data distributed across a plurality of slices of a table in the database. The database system is configured to distribute the rows of data across the slices according to a first function based on one or more columns of the table. The database system monitors at least one database statistic indicative of variation in a distribution of the rows of data across the slices and detects a redistribution condition based on the at least one monitored database statistic. The database system is further configured to respond to the detected redistribution condition by redistributing the rows of data across the slices according to a second function based on a different number of columns than the first function.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Clustrix, Inc.Inventors: Jason Frantz, Sergei Tsarev, Jim Gale, Scott Smith

Publication number: 20160267160Abstract: Systems and methods for replication replay in a relational database are disclosed. In one embodiment, a relational database includes a master database and a slave database, and events performed on the master database are stored in a log. A portion of the log is provided to a slave replay system associated with the slave database, and the slave replay system identifies a first table row associated with a first event of the portion of the log and a second table row associated with a second event in the portion of the log. The slave replay system replays the first and second events on the slave database in parallel if the first and second rows are different rows with unique sets of values, and otherwise replays the first and second events serially.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2016Publication date: September 15, 2016Inventors: Scott Smith, Jim Gale
