  • Patent number: 11907181
    Abstract: Techniques for generating a schema for a data input file are described herein. In an embodiment, a server computer receives a data input file. The server computer system selects a sample excerpt from the data input which comprises a subset of the data input file. The server computer system analyzes the sample excerpt to determine a row delimiter for the data input file, a column delimiter for the data input file, and a plurality of data format types. Using the column delimiter, row delimiter, and plurality of data format types, the server computer system generates a candidate schema for the data input file.

  • Patent number: 10585883
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a data analysis system for analyzing data object collections is provided. The data analysis system includes one or more graphical user interfaces comprising various interface elements that enable users to create visual queries. A visual query is constructed as a graph representing a pattern of interest in a collection of data objects. A visual query may include one or more graph elements and property information associated with the specified graph elements. After a user has constructed a visual query, the system may transform the visual query into a query template. A query engine may then execute the query template to search a data object collection for data object results corresponding to the specified pattern. The search for instances of a specified pattern in a collection of data objects is referred herein to as a “search around.
