Abstract: Techniques are described for configuring a data platform to schedule workloads using backlog indicators. For instance, processing circuitry of a data platform may obtain a generic backlog indicator for workloads to execute via the data platform. Each of the workloads may specify one or more storage system maintenance operations. Processing circuitry may obtain a custom backlog indicator for at least a subset of the workloads. A priority manager may calculate a single weighted backlog indicator value for each of the workloads by applying configurable weights to the generic backlog indicators and the custom backlog indicators. The data platform may schedule the workloads for execution on the data platform based on the single weighted backlog indicator value calculated for each workload. In some examples, the data platform processes the workloads according to the scheduling.

Abstract: Client machines, whether consumer or Enterprise, are notified of software updates using a decentralized, peer-to-peer blockchain infrastructure. Any software update is written to a block of data and distributed to blockchain nodes associated with a blockchain network. A smart contract, executed by any of the blockchain nodes, causes the corresponding blockchain node to notify specific client machines of the block of data recording the software update. The client machines contact the blockchain node and request the software update written to the block of data. The blockchain node retrieves and sends the software update written to the block of data. When the client machines receive the software update, the client machines apply or install the software update to improve their computer functioning.
