  • Patent number: 11249943
    Abstract: Technical solutions are described to implement a scalable write ahead log using a distributed file system. A general aspect includes a method for providing consistency among metadata replicas and content in an enterprise content management cluster. The method includes recording a transaction log entry in response to receiving a content modification request, the transaction log entry including a version identifier set to a first version value. The method also includes updating the transaction log entry to a second version value in response to successfully modifying content and one of a plurality of metadata replicas containing metadata corresponding to the request. The method also includes updating the transaction log entry to a third version value in response to successfully modifying each of the metadata replicas. The present document further describes examples of other aspects such as methods, computer products.

  • Patent number: 11151132
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for distributed processing of a query with distributed posting lists. A dispatch map has entries, wherein each entry identifies one of a plurality of terms in a dictionary, wherein for each of the terms there is a posting list identifying zero or more objects including the term, wherein at least one of the dispatch map entries indicate at least one distributed processing element including the posting list for the term. The dispatch map is used to dispatch sub-expressions comprising portions of a query to distributed processing elements having the posting lists for terms in the sub-expressions, wherein the distributed processing elements distributed the sub-expressions execute the sub-expressions on the posting lists for the terms in the sub-expression.

  • Patent number: 10803254
    Abstract: A data structure is generated containing enumerators for data types of a domain, text forms of the enumerators and context patterns for the text forms. The data structure also includes information extraction rules that are associated with the enumerators. The data structure is updated with additional context patterns and text forms that are identified within a set of documents to which text analytic annotators are to be tuned. The set of documents are analyzed against the updated data structure and additional extraction rules are generated based on the analysis.

  • Patent number: 10783161
    Abstract: A method includes determining, by a controller, a portion of data that is selected by a user. The portion of data includes source data that is to be transformed by at least one shaping function. The method also includes generating, by the controller, a first output recommendation data that communicates at least one recommended shaping function to apply to the portion of data. The first output recommendation data is generated based on patterns of shaping functions that have been previously chosen.

  • Patent number: 9906415
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided, in a cloud computing data processing system comprising a plurality of components, hosted on one or more hardware computing devices of the cloud computing data processing system, for transactional resource and topology management. A cloud service system is instantiated that comprises component instances having allocated resources. The cloud service system comprises orchestration engine logic which generates a transactional data structure that stores objects corresponding to transactions executed in association with resources and component instance state changes. The orchestration engine logic receives transactions associated with resources or component instances of the cloud service system and records the transactions as objects in the transactional data structure in response to receiving the transactions.
