Patent number: 9026493Abstract: A system and method is disclosed, which facilitates data replication in a multi-master Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS). An in-memory attribute is stored at a server of a multi-master database system. The in-memory attribute is associated with an operation, a record, and a global unique identifier (GUID) assuring uniqueness across the database system. The in-memory attribute indicates disallowing at the server additional requested operations associated with the record. The operation associated with the in-memory attribute is performed at the server and logged in a global accessible log associated with the server and available to other servers of the database system. The in-memory attribute is removed from the server based on a global accessible log associated with at least one of the other servers.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2011Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Dennis Zhi Weng

Patent number: 9021087Abstract: Methods and systems for improving caching accuracy utilizing snapshot technology are provided. One or more requests for data are received. When the requests for data return valid data, the valid data is stored within a cache. The response performance of a server device is monitored. When the response performance of the server device is above a predetermined threshold, one or more snapshot versions of a memory block are taken. The memory block may include the current state of the valid data at the time the snapshot version was taken. Upon receiving a warm-up cache signal for the cache, a snapshot version is used to populate the cache and sent to a client device.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Zhi Weng, Lantian Zheng
