  • Patent number: 11727022
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a method. The method includes receiving a plurality of local deltas for a query execution against a corresponding plurality of data sources hosted by a corresponding plurality of distributed nodes of a dynamic distributed network. The method also includes generating a combined delta by combining the local deltas. Additionally, the method includes generating a determined delta result by performing additional processing on the combined delta. Further, the method includes providing the determined delta for one of the distributed nodes.

  • Patent number: 11704327
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a method. The method includes parsing a distributed database query into component queries corresponding to distributed nodes. The method also includes matching component queries to central cache to determine whether the component queries can be satisfied. This matching generates matched and unmatched component queries. The method further includes transforming the matched component query to a cache query and local delta query for a first node. Additionally, the method includes executing the cache query to generate a cache result. Also, the method includes providing the local delta query for the first node to generate a local delta. Further, the method includes providing the unmatched component query for a second node to generate a remote result. The method also includes generating a global delta based on the local delta. The method additionally includes generating a result by combining the cache result, local delta, and remote result.

  • Patent number: 11681695
    Abstract: Aggregation in a computing system can include receiving, at a service node of the computing system, a first query specifying aggregation and translating the first query into a second query having a first canonical format and specifying the aggregation. The method can include forwarding the second query to a first subset of a plurality of endpoint nodes and translating, at each endpoint node of the first subset, the second query into a third query having a format executable by a data source connected to the endpoint node. The third query can specify a level of the aggregation to be performed by the data source determined based upon a processing capability of the data source. The endpoint nodes can initiate execution of the third query by the data sources and provide an aggregated result including a result from the data source(s) to the service node.

  • Patent number: 11120001
    Abstract: Table discovery in a distributed and dynamic computing system can include detecting an event of a type indicating an update to a data source of a selected node of a plurality of nodes of a computing system, in response to the event, generating, within the selected node, a first collaborative trigger having a query identifier correlated with the type of the event, and distributing the first collaborative trigger through other ones of the plurality of the nodes of the computing system so that the first collaborative trigger reaches an actor of the computing system. Table discovery further can include, in response to receiving the first collaborative trigger within the actor, generating, within the actor, a query for table definition information. The query may be implemented as an aggregation query and may be distributed through the plurality of the nodes.
