  • Patent number: 12003406
    Abstract: A method, network device, and computer program product for network traffic diversion are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method according to the present disclosure includes receiving a frame at a core edge node that is a member of a redundancy group (where the frame comprises network address information and a packet), and determining whether a link is affected by a network failure. The frame was sourced by a remote core edge node that is not a member of the redundancy group, and the network address information indicates that the packet is to be forwarded via the link. In response to the link being affected by the network failure, the method further includes generating a modified frame and forwarding the modified frame to another core edge node. The generating comprises including a redirect label in the modified frame. The another core edge node is another member of the redundancy group.

  • 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: 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.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20240041253
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the field of cooking utensils, and in particular relates to a pot body, an air fryer, and an air circulation system. The air fryer includes a machine body and a pot body. The pot body is of rectangular structure. A flow guide isolation hood and a lower fan blade are arranged in the machine body. A point of intersection between a rotation axis of the lower fan blade and the flow guide isolation hood is B. Any point on an edge of the flow guide isolation hood is taken as A. An angle between a tangential direction of the point A and a horizontal plane is defined as ?, 45°???90°. The air fryer may accommodate most of food to ensure the integrity of food; and air forms a vortex rotating at a high speed, solving the problem of non-uniform heat.

  • Publication number: 20240045878
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for building and using a sparse Time Series Database (TSDB). Time series records are received from a native TSDB, where each of the time series records includes a timestamp and one or more tags. Timeslots are determined for shards for the sparse TSDB based on the timestamp included in each of the time series records. The sparse TSDB is built by creating the shards for the determined timeslots and storing the time series records in the shards, while filling in empty ranges in the shards. A query that specifies at least one of the one or more tags is received. It is determined whether to execute the query against the sparse TSDB, and, in response to a determination to execute the query against the sparse TSDB, the query is executed against the sparse TSDB to generate results that are returned.

  • Patent number: 11893020
    Abstract: A system, program product, and method for enhancing automatic multidimensional query processing. The method includes executing a database query including semi-joining a plurality of dimension tables with a fact table. The method also includes identifying for extraction one or more data values from each dimension table of the plurality of dimension tables. The data values from each dimension table of the plurality of dimension tables are associated with a respective record identification (RID), thereby defining one or more RIDs. The method further includes generating a plurality of RID lists. Each RID list of the plurality of RID lists includes a collection of the one or more RIDs for the respective dimension table. The method also includes merging the plurality of RID lists, sorting, subject to the merging, the plurality of RIDs as a function of data location, and fetching the data values from the fact table.
