  • Patent number: 11099747
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for storing instances of data among nodes of a distributed store based on hierarchical scale unit values. Hierarchical scale unit values are assigned to the respective nodes of the distributed store. A first instance (e.g., a primary instance) of a data module is stored in a first node having a first hierarchical scale unit value. A primary instance of the data module with respect to a data operation is an instance of the data module at which the data operation with respect to the data module is initiated or initially directed. A second instance (e.g., a primary or secondary instance) of the data module is stored in a second node having a second hierarchical scale unit value based on a magnitude of a difference between the first hierarchical scale unit value and the second hierarchical scale unit value. A secondary instance is essentially a “back-up” instance.

  • Publication number: 20190354594
    Abstract: Conversations can be generated automatically based on any given persona. The conversations can be produced by a language generation model that automatically generates persona-based language in response to a message, wherein a persona identifies a type of person with role specific characteristics. After a language generation model is acquired, for example by identifying a predefined model or generating a new model, the language generation model can be provisioned for use by a conversational agent, such as a chatbot, to enhance the functionality of the conversational agent.

  • Patent number: 8484417
    Abstract: Version indicators within an existing range can be associated with a data partition in a distributed data store. A partition reconfiguration can be associated with one of multiple partitions in the data store, and a new version indicator that is outside the existing range can be assigned to the reconfigured partition. Additionally, a broadcast message can be sent to multiple nodes, which can include storage nodes and/or client nodes that are configured to communicate with storage nodes to access data in a distributed data store. The broadcast message can include updated location information for data in the data store. In addition, a response message can be sent to a requesting node of the multiple nodes in response to receiving from that node a message that requests updated location information for the data. The response message can include the requested updated location information.

  • Publication number: 20100114826
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing configurations of data nodes in a distributed environment A configuration manager is implemented as a set of distributed master nodes that may use quorum-based processing to enable reliable identification of master nodes storing current configuration information, even if some of the master nodes fail. If a quorum of master nodes cannot be achieved or some other event occurs that precludes identification of current configuration information, the configuration manager may be rebuilt by analyzing reports from read/write quorums of nodes associated with a configuration, allowing automatic recovery of data partitions.
