  • Publication number: 20230141556
    Abstract: A system for executing a streaming query includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a logical query plan. The processor is configured to determine a physical query plan based at least in part on the logical query plan. The physical query plan comprises an ordered set of operators. Each operator of the ordered set of operators comprises an operator input mode and an operator output mode. The processor is further configured to execute the physical query plan using the operator input mode and the operator output mode for each operator of the query.

  • Patent number: 10474501
    Abstract: A system for cluster resource allocation includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a process and input data. The processor is configured to determine an estimate for resources required for the process to process the input data; determine existing available resources in a cluster for running the process; determine whether the existing available resources are sufficient for running the process; in the event it is determined that the existing available resources are not sufficient for running the process, indicate to add new resources; determine an allocated share of resources in the cluster for running the process; and cause execution of the process using the share of resources.

  • Patent number: 10361928
    Abstract: A system for cluster management comprises a status monitor and an instance replacement manager. The status monitor is for monitoring status of an instance of a set of instances on a cluster provider. The instance replacement manager is for determining a replacement strategy for the instance in the event the instance does not respond. The replacement strategy for the instance is based at least in part on a management criteria for on-demand instances and spot instances on the cluster provider.

  • Patent number: 10095735
    Abstract: A system for exploring data in a database comprises a query parser, a parameter manager, a query submitter, and a result formatter. The query parser is to receive a base query and determine an input parameter from the base query. The parameter manager is to provide a first request for a value for the input parameter; receive the value for the input parameter; and provide a second request for the value for the input parameter. The query submitter is to determine a first query using the base query and the value for the input parameter; and provide an indication to execute the first query. The result formatter is to receive a result associated with the indication to execute the first query.
