Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying files in bulk in a file system. When files are represented by a segment tree, the levels of the segment trees are walked by level such that that multiple files are verified at the same time in order to identify missing segments. Then, a bottom up scan is performed using the missing segments to identify the files corresponding to the missing segments. The missing files can then be handled by the file system.

Abstract: Embodiments for a memory efficient perfect hashing for large records. A container ID set is divided into multiple fixed range sizes. These ranges are then mapped into perfect hash buckets until each bucket is filled to uniformly distribute the container IDs across different perfect hash buckets so that the number of CIDs in every perfect hash bucket is the same or nearly the same. Individual perfect hash functions are created for each perfect hash bucket. With container IDs as keys, the process maps n keys to n positions to reduce any extra memory overhead. The perfect hash function is implemented using a compress, hash, displace (CHD) algorithm using two levels of hash functions. The level 1 hash functions divides the keys into multiple internal buckets with a defined average number of keys per bucket. The CHD algorithm iteratively tries different level 2 hash variables to achieve collision-free mapping.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for creating and/or processing a definition for a dashboard with manually input code and user selections in a graphical user interface. In some implementations, user interface elements are displayed and selections from a user accepted. Responsive to the selections, definitions for one or more visualizations and datasources are automatically generated and displayed in a user interface element that accepts manually input customizations and code from the user. The resulting combination of code and definitions is stored as a definition for the dashboard, which when processed will transform data received from the at least one of the datasources, combine the transformed data with data from another of the datasources, and cause the display of a visualization based on the combined data.

Abstract: Embodiments for allocating and reclaiming memory using dynamic buffer allocation for a slab memory allocator. The method keeps track of a count of a total number of worker threads and a count of a total number of quiesced threads, and determines if there is any free slab memory. If there is no free slab memory, the method triggers an out of memory event and increments the count of the total number of quiesced threads. It reclaims all objects currently allocated in an object pool, and allocates a buffer of a next smaller size than an original buffer until a sufficient amount of slab memory is freed.

Abstract: System and methods are described for a monitoring system to monitor operations of a distributed computing system and provide feedback to subscribers. The monitoring system includes a data collection engine to receive data items comprising events, metrics, or one or more configurations about a distributed computing system being monitored, and to store selected data items into a message queue. The monitoring system also includes a data processing engine to receive the selected data items from the queue, transform the selected data items into transformed data items based at least in part on one or more settings for a subscriber and the one or more configurations of the distributed computing system, and store the transformed data items into one or more of a database and a cache.

Abstract: Embodiments for dynamically resizing buffers for a slab allocator process are described. The slab allocator informs the consumer that the memory buffer must be shrunk to a smaller size. A buffer allocation process dynamically reclaims portions of larger memory buffers to make room for a smaller allocation by shrinking data objects in larger slabs and returning slabs to reserve or free slab lists. Initially a large limit is set, and it is dynamically reduced once all the available memory is exhausted. This allows the slab allocator to adapt to the workload.

Abstract: A perfect hash vector (PHVEC) is created to track segments in a deduplication file system. Files are represented by segment trees having hierarchical segment levels. Containers store the segments and fingerprints of segments. Upper-level segments are traversed to identify a first set of fingerprints of each level. These fingerprints correspond to segments that should be present. The first set of fingerprints are hashed and bits are set in the PHVEC corresponding to positions from the hashing. The containers are read to identify a second set of fingerprints. These fingerprints correspond to segments that are present. The second set of fingerprints are hashed and bits are cleared in the PHVEC corresponding to positions from the hashing. If a bit was set and not cleared, a determination is that there is at least one segment missing. If all bits set were also cleared, a determination is that no segments are missing.

Abstract: Embodiments for a mostly unique file selection process for a deduplication backup system are described. The process assigns tags to files. A tag serves as a hint about the similarity of files in a deduplication file system. It is expected that files from the same client machine will be assigned the same tag. The tag is the smallest unit of migration and serves as a hint of the similarity of the files. The MUFS process measures the uniqueness using a u-index that is a function of the total unique size of a tag relative to the total size of the tag. A load balancer then selects the most unique tags for migration to free the maximum space. It uses the u-index to measure the uniqueness percentage of a tag, so that tags with the highest u-index are selected for migration to free up maximum space on the source node.
