Abstract: Techniques for warm cloning of computing nodes are provided. A request to clone a first computing node is received. Upon determining that a first transaction of a plurality of transactions is ongoing, a first moment in time when data associated with the first transaction was coherent on the first computing node is identified. Tracking data related to the first transaction is collected, beginning at the first moment in time. Further, a first storage associated with the first computing node is copied to a second storage associated with a second computing node, where the first transaction continues during the copying. The tracking data related to the first transaction is then transmitted to the second computing node.

Abstract: Techniques for recycling segment pages while preserving integrity of memory addressing. Upon a request to delete a system object, an initial segment identifier is de-assigned from a segment of the system object, and each segment page of the system object is remapped to a new virtual address range. The segment is stored as a reusable segment in a reusable segment store. Upon a request to access the system object, an exception is raised that the system object does not exist. Upon a request to create a new system object, the reusable segment store is searched to identify the reusable segment as a match. The reusable segment is assigned as a segment of the new system object.

Abstract: A system and a method for keeping two versions of a mirrored database in sync is provided. A connection is monitored between a primary database and a secondary database. When a loss of the connection between the primary database and the secondary database is detected, the primary database is monitored for changes. When a modification is detected to at least one row in the primary database, a value of a change indicator is changed for the corresponding row indicating that the row was modified. Once the connection between the primary and the secondary databases is restored, the primary database is queried for the value of the change indicator indicating the corresponding row was modified to obtain a current value for data in the corresponding row of the primary database, and the corresponding row in the secondary database is updated with the current value for the corresponding row.
