Patent number: 10719313Abstract: An apparatus, and a method, performed by one or more processors are disclosed. The method may comprise receiving a build request associated with performing an external data processing task on a first data set, the first data set being stored in memory associated with a data processing platform to be performed at a system external to the data processing platform. The method may also comprise generating a task identifier for the data processing task, and providing, in association with the task identifier, the first data set to an agent associated with the external system with an indication of the data processing task, the agent being arranged to cause performance of the task at the external system, to receive a second data set resulting from performance of the task, and to provide the second data set and associated metadata indicative of the transformation.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Palantir Technologies Inc.Inventors: Audrey Kuan, Andrew Kaier, Eric Lee, Jasjit Grewal, Mark Elliot, Nitish Kulkarni, Robert Fink, Samuel Rogerson, Thomas Pearson, Thomas Powell, Lawrence Manning, Corey Garvey

Publication number: 20190243619Abstract: Data transformation in a distributed system of applications and data repositories is described. The subsystems for the overall framework are distributed, thereby allowing for customization to require only isolated changes to one or more subsystems. In one embodiment, a source code repository is used to receive and store source code. A build subsystem can retrieve source code from the source code repository and build it, using one or more criteria. By building the source code, the build subsystem can generate an artifact, which is executable code, such as a JAR or SQL file. Likewise, by building the source code, the build subsystem can generate one or more job specifications for executing the executable code. In one embodiment, the artifact and job specification may be used to launch an application server in a cluster. The application server can then receive data transformation instructions and execute the data transformation instructions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2019Publication date: August 8, 2019Applicant: Palantir Technologies Inc.Inventors: ROBERT FINK, MATTHEW CHEAH, MINGYU KIM, LYNN CUTHRIELL, DIVYANSHU ARORA, JUSTIN UANG, JARED NEWMAN, JAKOB JUELICH, KEVIN CHEN, MARK ELLIOT, MICHAEL NAZARIO
