Abstract: A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that store shared content accessible by two or more user devices that interact with the cloud-based service platform over a network. A virtual file system module is delivered to a user device, which user device hosts one or more applications. The virtual file system module detects a plurality of application calls issued by processes or threads operating on the user device. The plurality of application calls are mapped into one coalesced cloud call. The coalesced cloud call is delivered to the cloud-based service platform to facilitate access to the shared content by the application. The mapping of application calls to the coalesced cloud call is based on pattern rules that are applied over a stream of incoming application calls. A delay may be observed after mapping to a first pattern, and before making a mapping to a second pattern.

Abstract: Techniques for requesting and providing process plant data using a source-independent standardized query are provided. A requesting device generates a standardized query to obtain data from one or more data sources, such as relational or non-relational databases. The query utilizes a standardized format that does not depend upon the data source, which query may be generated as a JSON file. The standardized query may not be directly usable for any data sources. Instead, a data device generates one or more source-specific queries upon receipt of the standardized query. The source-specific queries utilize syntax native to each data source to obtain data. In some instances, the received data must be further processed to adjust for different sample times or sampling rates, such as by interpolation. The resulting data from all data sources may be aggregated into a data frame prior to being returned to the requesting device.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for ERP reporting using a cache server to cache previous query results. Query latency is further reduced by routing queries and responses to queries through the cache server rather than via direct communication between a querying device and a server hosting the database. This is done by moving a driver for interfacing with the database to the server hosting the database, thus avoiding slow protocol communications between this driver and the database when such communications occur over a WAN. A custom driver is also designed to interface with the cache server and control routing of queries and responses through the cache server. Further, a cache server is selected that enables queries to be passed straight to the server hosting the database rather than the query device having to pass these queries to the database.

The duplicate catalog object can be deleted upon completion of modifying the data associated with the original catalog object.

Abstract: Technologies are described for performing replication within a database environment. Where a database transaction is replicated at multiple replica nodes, a replica node is selected as a coordinator replica node for the transaction. The other replica node or nodes are designated as follower replica nodes for the transaction. A follower replica node sends the coordinator replica node a precommit notification when the follower replica node has precommitted the transaction. The coordinator replica node sends the follower replica node a postcommit notification to commit the transaction when the transaction has been precommitted by all of the replica nodes to which the transaction is to be replicated.

Abstract: A snapshot manager examines a set of entries of a journal of a multi-data-store storage system. Each entry is formatted in a data-store-independent transaction language and various entries contain a respective indication of a committed change to a data object or to a journal schema. Corresponding to various data objects that are materialized at least at a data store of the storage system, respective compact state change representations are generated based on the set of journal entries affecting the data objects. A given compact state change representation, also formatted in the transaction language, may represent cumulative effects of several changes. A snapshot of the journal, comprising the compact state representations, is stored.

Abstract: A storage system in one embodiment comprises a plurality of storage devices and a storage controller. The storage system implements a loopback replication process in which one or more source storage objects are replicated to one or more corresponding target storage objects within the storage system. The storage system obtains a pairing identifier, pairs a source storage object with a target storage object by associating respective distinct instances of the pairing identifier with the source storage object and the target storage object, and replicates the source storage object to the target storage object based at least in part on the associated instances of the pairing identifier. Each of the source and target instances of the pairing identifier comprises a collision field. The collision fields of the source and target instances of the pairing identifier have respective distinct values in order to prevent collisions between the source and target storage objects during loopback replication.

Abstract: Distributed database management systems may perform range queries over the leading portion of a primary key. Non-random distribution of data may improve performance related to the processing of range queries, but may tend to cause workload to be concentrated on particular partitions. Groups of partitions may be expanded and collapsed based on detection of disproportionate workload. Disproportionate write workload may be distributed among a group of partitions that can subsequently be queried using a federated approach. Disproportionate read workload may be distributed among a group of read-only replicated partitions.
