Patent number: 11934874Abstract: A serverless query processing system receives a query and determines whether the query is a recurring query or a non-recurring query. The system may predict, in response to determining that the query is the recurring query, a peak resource requirement during an execution of the query. The system may compute, in response to determining that the query is the non-recurring query, a tight resource requirement corresponding to an amount of resources that satisfy a performance requirement over the execution of the query, where the tight resource requirement is less than the peak resource requirement. The system allocates resources to the query based on an applicable one of the peak resource requirement or the tight resource requirement. The system then starts the execution of the query using the resources.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Hiren Shantilal Patel, Shi Qiao, Alekh Jindal, Malay Kumar Bag, Rathijit Sen, Carlo Aldo Curino

Publication number: 20230342359Abstract: Methods of machine learning for system deployments without performance regressions are performed by systems and devices. A performance safeguard system is used to design pre-production experiments for determining the production readiness of learned models based on a pre-production budget by leveraging big data processing infrastructure and deploying a large set of learned or optimized models for its query optimizer. A pipeline for learning and training differentiates the impact of query plans with and without the learned or optimized models, selects plan differences that are likely to lead to most dramatic performance difference, runs a constrained set of pre-production experiments to empirically observe the runtime performance, and finally picks the models that are expected to lead to consistently improved performance for deployment. The performance safeguard system enables safe deployment not just for learned or optimized models but also for additional of other ML-for-Systems features.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Irene Rogan SHAFFER, Remmelt Herbert Lieve AMMERLAAN, Gilbert ANTONIUS, Marc T.

Publication number: 20230177053Abstract: Methods for optimization in query plans are performed by computing systems via a query optimizer advisor. A query optimizer advisor (QO-Advisor) is configured to steer a query plan optimizer towards more efficient plan choices by providing rule hints to improve navigation of the search space for each query in formulation of its query plan. The QO-Advisor receives historical information of a distributed data processing system as an input, and then generates a set of rule hint pairs based on the historical information. The QO-Advisor provides the set of rule hint pairs to a query plan optimizer, which then optimizes a query plan of an incoming query through application of a rule hint pair in the set. This application is based at least on a characteristic of the incoming query matching a portion of the rule hint pair.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Matteo INTERLANDI, Wangda ZHANG, Paul S.

Patent number: 11194630Abstract: Shuffling of into partitions by first grouping input vertices of a limited number. Each group of input vertices may then be simply shuffled into a corresponding group of intermediate vertices, such as by broadcasting. A second grouping occurs in which the intermediate vertices are grouped by partition. The intermediate vertices then shuffle into corresponding output vertices for the respective partitions of that group. If the intermediate vertices are still too large, then this shuffling may involve recursively performing the shuffling just described, until ultimately the number of intermediate vertices shuffling into the output vertices is likewise limited. Thus, the final shuffling into the output vertices might also be simply performed by broadcasting.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2017Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jin Sun, Shi Qiao, Jaliya Nishantha Ekanayake, Marc Todd Friedman, Clemens Alden Szyperski
