  • DATA HANDLING
    Publication number: 20150026143
    Abstract: The concepts relate to data handling, and more specifically to data handling scenarios where data is revised on one computer and stored on another computer. One example can obtain a set of blobs relating to revisions of a file. The example can determine a target size of datastore blobs. In an instance where a total size of the set of blobs is less than the target size, this example can aggregate the set of blobs into an individual datastore blob. Otherwise, the example can identify new or edited individual blobs of the set and aggregate the new or edited individual blobs into first datastore blobs. The example can also aggregate other individual blobs of the set into second datastore blobs.

  • Caching infrastructure
    Patent number: 8825594
    Abstract: Example systems and methods are directed at maintaining and retrieving presence metadata. One example method includes receiving a request from a first client to edit a document file, and sending short-term check out metadata to the first client to begin an editing session. The method also includes writing the transition ID to a transition table stored in a cache, wherein the presence of another transition ID in the cache indicates that a document has switched from a single-client mode to a multi-client mode. An example system includes a processing unit operative to receive a document, the document including short-term check out metadata indicating an editing session has begun, ping a cache to determine if another transition ID is stored in the cache, and send a transition ID to a transition table stored in a cache to switch from a single-client mode to a multi-client mode.
