Patent number: 9652313Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes executing, by a device, one or more programs that use asynchronous message passing. The one or more programs comprise instrumentation code that causes message context information to be generated regarding asynchronous messages passed by the one or more programs. The message context information is indicative of one or more points within the one or more programs at which a particular message is sent or received. The method includes maintaining a current message context associated with a particular portion of the one or more programs. The method includes receiving a first asynchronous message that includes message context information for the received message. The method includes updating the current message context to include the message context information received via the first asynchronous message.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jamie Lee Taylor, Andrew William Keep, Jonathan Gregory Rossie, Jr., Jonathan Mayer Sobel, R.

Patent number: 9501506Abstract: A hybrid-sharded index includes document-sharded posting lists and term-sharded posting lists. Implementations include systems and methods for updating a hybrid-sharded index. For example, a method may include receiving updates to the hybrid-sharded index and generating, at a first leaf node, replacement posting lists and change information for a respective second leaf node. The method may also include dividing the replacement posting lists into portions, a portion having associated change information and being associated with a respective one of the second leaf nodes and sending the portions to respective leaf nodes. At a particular leaf node of the second leaf nodes, the method includes merging a received portion into an updated posing list portion, swapping the updated posting list portion into memory. During the swap, the change information and the updated posting list portion are used to respond to a query with an older version of the hybrid-sharded index.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Marcus Fontoura, Daniel N.

Patent number: 9483568Abstract: A hybrid-sharded index includes document-sharded posting lists and term-sharded posting lists. Implementations include systems and methods using a distributed hybrid-sharded index. For example, a method may include receiving, at a root node, a query having a first term and a second term and determining, that the first term is term-sharded. The method may also include retrieving a term-sharded posting list for the first term from a first leaf node that stores the term-sharded posting list and determining, at the root node, a second leaf node that stores a document-sharded posting list for the second term. The method may include sending the second term and a sub-set of documents from the term-sharded posting list to the second leaf node, the sub-set being documents assigned to the second leaf node; and generating a search result using a response received from the second leaf node.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Marcus Fontoura, Daniel N.

Patent number: 9152550Abstract: A storage system uses a block-level file system to manage physical storage of data blocks of logical units, the file system being mounted on an owning one of a set of storage processors. The storage processors redirect received storage requests to the owning storage processor, and periodically the amount of redirection is evaluated. If the amount of redirection is higher than a threshold, then the file system is dismounted at the owning storage processor and mounted at another storage processor to reduce the amount of redirection.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Alan Lee Taylor, Paul T.

Patent number: 8997120Abstract: In a data storage system, a fixture communication channel is created for communications between a fixture and another component, where the fixture is a component of a device driver that provides extended input/output functionality with respect to one or more storage devices. A handle identifies the fixture communication channel, and callbacks are registered with a driver handler and reference callback functions of the fixture. Fixture communication messages each include the handle and a message-specific operation code for an operation to be performed by the fixture, and each is conveyed by (1) issuing a fixture-control input/output control command to the handler that includes the handle and message-specific operation code, and (2) at the handler, using the handle and message-specific operation code to select a callback and invoke a corresponding callback function of the fixture.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Alan Lee Taylor, Paul T.
