Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for stateless stream handling and resharding. In one implementation, a first shard comprising one or more messages is generated. The first shard is associated with a first state attribute. The first shard and the first state attribute are provided as an update within a data stream. In another implementation, a first shard including a first state attribute is received within a first stream. A message that is inconsistent with the first state attribute is identified within the first shard. The message is associated as an attribute of the first shard. A second shard including a second state attribute is received. Based on the second state attribute, a position of the message within the second shard is determined. The message is inserted into the second shard based on the determining.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for stateless data processing. In one implementation, multiple operations directed to an object are received. The operations are associated to generate a transaction sequence. Au atomic update of the object is performed in accordance with the generated transaction sequence.

Abstract: A method of managing data with high granularity, comprises identifying data objects and an associated data management policy. The policy uses features and a common semantic to define a feature-based sequence of data management actions of a data management operation that varies for different objects depending on respective features. Features of the data objects are obtained and then used to associate a data management action with the object using the policy so that the object is managed individually according to its own features, thus achieving high granularity of data management precision and also high flexibility.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for structuring unstructured machine-generated content. In one implementation, unstructured content is received and processed to identify a first content segment. Parameter(s) within the first content segment are identified and classified. A content segment skeleton that reflects an arrangement of the first content segment is generated. Based on the classifying of the parameter(s), the parameter(s) are extracted s from the first content segment into a structured content element in a structured content format, with the structured content element including a representation of the content segment skeleton. Based on the structured format, a query adapter is generated. Queries are executed via the query adapter and the structured format.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and related technologies for application-centric object storage and managing object requests via multiple indexes are described. In certain aspects, a processing device can receive a first data object, generate, with respect to the first data object, a first index, generate, with respect to the first data object, a second index through which the first data object can be accessed, receive a request with respect to the first data object, process the request to determine which of the first index or the second index to utilize in completing the request, and complete the request via at least one of the first index or the second index.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and related technologies for application-centric object storage and interfaces. In certain aspects, a processing device receives, from a first application, one or more requests with respect to a data object. The processing device processes the one or more requests to identify one or more substructures of the data object. Based on an identification of the one or more substructures of the data object, the processing device defines a storage structure for the data object. The processing device defines an interface through which the first application can provide data access commands to the data object as stored in the defined storage structure.
