Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for controlling append-only file rewrites are provided. In accordance with some embodiments, the methods comprising: determining a utilization of a shard of a database; determining whether the utilization exceeds a persistent storage utilization threshold; determining a recovery time to recover the shard from an append-only file; determining whether the recovery time exceeds a recovery time threshold; and when the utilization is determined to exceed the utilization threshold or when the recovery time is determined to exceed the recovery time threshold, causing an append-only-file rewrite to be performed.

Abstract: A Web-based 3D-image display system that downloads 3D-image files from a Web server and smoothly displays 3D -images on a Web browser. The Web-based 3D-image display system is provided with a Web server storing compressed 3D files that have been edited and created based on 3D-scene information extracted from a VRML file or the like, and a 3DA applet for displaying 3D scenes; and a Web browser for displaying the 3D scene. The Web browser requests and downloads the 3D applet from the Web server and requests and downloads the compressed 3D file from the Web server by executing the 3D applet. After downloading and receiving all information, the Web browser continuously displays an interactive 3D -scene by executing, independently of the Web server, real-time 3D-rendering and 3D-motion algorithms using the 3D applet.
