  • Storing graph data in a column-oriented data store
    Patent number: 9128967
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for storing graph data within a column-oriented data store. Graph data including vertex data describing one or more vertices in the graph and edge data describing one or more edges within the graph may be received. One or more vertex rows within the column-oriented data store may be assigned, whereby each vertex row of the one or more vertex rows is assigned to one vertex of the one or more vertices. One or more edge rows within the column-oriented data store may also be assigned, whereby each edge row of the one or more edge rows is assigned to one edge of the one or more edges. At least one vertex row and at least one edge row may be populated based on the graph data.
    Type: Grant

  • Feedback system and method for processing incoming data using a plurality of mapper modules and reducer module(s)
    Patent number: 8627336
    Abstract: System, methods, and apparatuses are provided for processing incoming data using a plurality of mapper modules and at least one reducer module. Incoming data may be processed to provide mapped data. The mapped data may be processed to provide reduced data. A feedback message may be generated. The feedback message may include data describing a suggestive configuration value to be applied when processing the incoming data.

  • Data quality enhancement for smart grid applications
    Patent number: 8412735
    Abstract: A method, in one embodiment, can include encoding knowledge about a topic domain into a data modeling technique. Additionally, a set of candidate conditional functional dependencies can be generated based on a data set of the topic domain. Moreover, the set of candidate conditional functional dependencies and the data modeling technique encoded with the topic domain knowledge can be applied to the data set to obtain a plurality of data quality rules for the data set.
