  • Data sharing in a stream processing system
    Patent number: 8560602
    Abstract: Data sharing is facilitated in stream processing environments, including distributed stream processing environments. A processor of the stream processing environment obtains at least one of usage information for shared data of the stream processing environment, one or more pre-declared characteristics of the shared data, or performance information relating to the stream processing environment. Based on at least one of the usage information, the one or more pre-declared characteristics or the performance information, code is generated for managing the shared data.

  • DATA SHARING IN A DISTRIBUTED DATA STREAM PROCESSING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20130018943
    Abstract: State sharing is facilitated in stream processing environments, including distributed stream processing environments. A customized shared state implementation representing the state to be shared is automatically created based on at least one of user preferences, hints of usage, and system performance.

  • Proxying open database connectivity (ODBC) calls
    Patent number: 8321443
    Abstract: An Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) proxy infrastructure to transparently route incoming queries to one or more selected query engines. The ODBC proxy receives a query from an application, and determines based on the characteristics of the query and the capabilities of the query engines which one or more query engines are to perform the query. The proxy then routes the query to the one or more query engines, which perform the query. The results are then returned to the proxy, which provides the results to the application.
