  • Publication number: 20230195749
    Abstract: A payload store within a database management system includes a first set of nodes that include a first node that includes a memory, a network interface, a storage device, and a processing unit. The processing unit receives, via the network interface, a first portion of data to be stored in a plurality of storage devices of the first set of nodes, and splits the first portion into a first set of data rows that includes a plurality of subsets of data rows and a last subset of data rows. The processing unit further randomly assigns the plurality of subsets of data rows and the last subset of data rows between the first set of nodes and stores a first number of data rows in the storage device. The processing unit further sends, via the network interface, a second number of data rows to the second node for storage therein.

  • Patent number: 11586647
    Abstract: A massively parallel database management system includes an index store and a payload store including a set of storage systems of different temperatures. Both the index store and the storage system each include a list of clusters. Each cluster includes a set of nodes with storage devices forming a group of segments. Nodes and clusters are connected over high speed links. Each cluster receives data and splits the data into data rows based on a predetermined size. The data rows are randomly and evenly distributed between all nodes of the cluster.

  • Publication number: 20220300472
    Abstract: A method for execution by a computer of a database management system includes obtaining a dataset that includes a set of data records, where the data set is associated with a set of data characteristics. The method further includes ranking analytical calculations of a list of analytical calculations that are able to be executed on the dataset based on the set of data characteristics and a set of analytical calculation characteristics associated with the list of analytical calculations to produce a ranked list of analytical calculations. The method further includes selecting an analytical calculation from the ranked list of analytical calculations based on the ranking. The method further includes executing the selected analytical calculation on the dataset to produce an analytical calculation result.

  • Patent number: 11334542
    Abstract: A method for managing data storage and retrieval and operated within a database management system includes determining whether a data confidence value of a data record that is stored or is to be stored in memory of the database management system is less than a data confidence threshold, where the data confidence value includes one or more of an estimate of an accuracy of data within the data record, an estimate of the accuracy of the data record, and an estimate of a reliability level of the data. When the data confidence value is less than the data confidence threshold, the method continues by generating a confidence data record based on the data record and the data confidence value. The method continues by storing the confidence data record in memory of the database management system.

  • Patent number: 11294932

Both the stores each include a list of clusters. Each cluster includes a set of nodes with storage devices forming a group of segments. Nodes and clusters are connected over high speed links. The list of clusters within the payload store includes clusters of different temperatures. The payload store transitions data of a segment group from a higher temperature to a segment group in a lower temperature cluster in parallel. A node moves data of a segment in the higher temperature cluster to a corresponding node's segment in the lower temperature cluster. Once the data is written in the destination segment in the lower temperature cluster, the source segment is freed to store other data. The temperatures include blazing, hot, warm and cold.
