Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system receives records of activity within a stream-processing system over a set of event streams, wherein each event stream in the set of event streams contains events related to a corresponding job in the stream-processing system. Next, the system indexes data in the records under a set of keys that include a first key related to jobs in the stream-processing system and a second key related to errors in the stream-processing system. The system then outputs the indexed data for use in analyzing the execution of the stream-processing system.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for managing a stream-processing application. During operation, the system allocates a first host for an active instance of the stream-processing application that maintains a state during processing of one or more input streams. Next, the system allocates a second host for a first backup instance that recreates the state on the active instance by consuming changes to the state replicated from the active instance without consuming the input stream(s). During a failure on the first host, the system moves the active instance to the first host by stopping the first backup instance on the second host. Finally, the system launches the active instance on the second host to resume processing of the input stream(s) by the active instance using the recreated state from the first backup instance.

Abstract: A first read request for data stored at a non-volatile memory is received by a primary storage controller. The data is programmed from the non-volatile memory to a first cache of the primary storage controller, the first cache to store the data over a first time range. A second read request is received for the data. In response to receiving the second read request for the data, the data is programmed to a second cache to store the data over a second time range that is greater than the first time range. A notification is transmitted to a secondary storage controller, the notification including information associated with the programming of the data to the second cache.

Abstract: A messaging system establishes a secure call session between multiple parties. The call session is secured using an entropy value shared among parties in the call session. During the call session, the messaging system receives an instruction from a party in the call session to modify the call session. The call session may be modified by a party being added or removed from the session. Based on the received instruction, the messaging system performs an entropy value update to ensure that the call session is secure after the modification is made. A new entropy value is generated by a party in the call session and transmitted to other parties in the call session. Using the new entropy value, the messaging system establishes the modified secure call session.

A relationships graph is generated that represents the entities and the identified relationships between entities, the relationships graph comprising nodes in the relationships graph to represent one or more entities and edges between any two nodes in the relationships graph to represent the identified relationships between the one or more entities represented by each of the two nodes. The relationships graph is stored in a graph store. A graph query is received against selected nodes and edges in the graph store. One or more data store queries are generated therefrom, to be executed against respective selected ones of the one or more entities and their respective identified relationships based on the graph query and the graph store. The one or more data store queries are applied to selected one or more of the number of data stores.
