  • Patent number: 11968249
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11934359
    Abstract: 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. A best possible match is then determined, and one or more logs are presented to the user providing the best possible match.

  • Patent number: 11914594
    Abstract: A disclosed database system and enhanced methods implement enhanced mini-plans and dynamically changing a query mini-plan with trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve query execution performance in a database system. An AI cost model evaluates candidate mini-plans for executing a query. AI truth monitors evaluate the execution of the mini-plans, such as predicted input factors and adjusted mini-plans of one or more AI running data models. The AI truth monitors provide feedback to adjust the AI cost model based on evaluating the execution of the mini-plans. The AI truth monitors validate adjusted mini-plans, provide feedback to the AI cost model with improved overall prediction accuracy, and enhanced mini-plans to gain query performance.

  • Patent number: 11914573
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11914586
    Abstract: An embodiment includes generating a partition schema for a distributed database based on historical usage data indicative of usage of the distributed database, where the generating of the partition schema comprises determining a partition range of a partition of the partition schema. The embodiment also includes generating a node identifier for the partition using a hash function and a first weight value assigned to the partition. 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.
