  • Accurate partition sizing for memory efficient reduction operations
    Patent number: 11250001
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to processing data records, and for a multi-phase partitioned data reduction. The first phase relates to processing data records and partitioning the records into a first partition of records having a common characteristic and a second partition of records that are not members of the first partition. The data records in each partition are subject to intra-partition data reduction responsive to a resource constraint. The data records in each partition are also subject to an inter-partition data reduction, also referred to as an aggregation to reduce a footprint for storing the records. Partitions and/or individual records are logically aggregated and a data reduction operation for the logical aggregation of records takes place in response to available resources.

  • Adaptive payload management
    Patent number: 10019499
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to payload storage format for storing data in support of an aggregation function. As an input is subject to aggregation, the input is evaluated to ascertain a payload format for the aggregation. It is understood that there is more than one payload format. An evaluation of the aggregation key is a factor in the initial payload format. If the key is an addition to an existing aggregation, the evaluation considers changing the format of the payload to address processing and/or memory efficiency for the aggregation. The evaluation and the format change takes place dynamically so that the aggregation may continue.
