Patent number: 11968249Abstract: A coordinator module for improving communications within a cloud computing system is disclosed. The coordinator module initiates transaction requests by generating a coordination context, where the coordination context includes a transaction context, a coordination type, and an initiator supplemental address. The coordinator module includes a supplemental address handler for creating the initiator supplemental address that unique identifies the coordinator module and the associated pod. The coordinator module receives transaction responses, where the transaction response includes a coordination context. The coordinator module includes a transaction context checker to verify that the transaction response was not received in error, by comparing the received transaction context with a saved transaction context. The coordinator module includes a registration bridge that identifies an alternate coordinator module and alternate pod to process the transaction response if the transaction contexts do not match.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shuo Zhang, Dian Guo Zou, Jing Jing Wei, Da Guang Sun, Yue Wang, Ping Mei

Patent number: 11934359Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product is provided for computer log management. In one embodiment, in response to receiving a log request from a user, an input content is analyzed and adjusted according to input contents and user's previous activities. A similarity analysis and a fairness analysis is performed to determine similarities between the input content, as adjusted, and a plurality of log records in an object library. The similarity analysis includes analyzing any patterns and attributes. The attributes have a dimension, and each dimension has a predefined weight (W). The fairness analysis ensures that one type of log is not favored over others.

Patent number: 11914573Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for relational database locks based on columns. Database transactions may be targeted to specific columns of one or more records, instead of the entire row for those records, using primary keys. Column locks on specific keys are stored separately than column locks on ranges of keys, which are both checked when requesting a new column lock for either a single key or a range of keys. When a threshold number of columns for a given record, or range of records/keys, have been locked, the column locks for that record, or range of records, can be combined into a single row level lock to reduce resource costs for maintaining multiple concurrent locks.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shuo Li, Xiaobo Wang, Hong Mei Zhang, Sheng Yan Sun

The embodiment also includes monitoring performance data indicative of a performance of the distributed database, the monitoring comprising detecting a failure of the performance to satisfy a performance threshold. The embodiment also includes initiating, responsive to detecting the failure, a redistribution procedure by changing the node identifier of the partition by replacing the first weight value with a second weight value.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Hong Mei Zhang, Sheng Yan Sun, Meng Wan, Peng Hui Jiang
