Abstract: A self-adjusting resource-provisioning system that infers the existence of extrinsic events by monitoring external information sources. When an external source satisfies a threshold condition, the system, as a function of historical records, correlates the inferred event with a likelihood that a Web site or other computerized entity's resource-utilization will reach a certain level at a future time. The system adjusts the available amount of resources to handle the predicted utilization level. If the system fails to accurately predict the actual utilization level, the system adjusts the condition to more accurately predict utilization in the future. If no threshold condition predicts an unexpected change in resource utilization, the system adjusts parameters of an existing condition or creates a new condition to better correlate utilization with future extrinsic events.

Abstract: A clustering machine can cluster descriptive vectors in a balanced manner. The clustering machine calculates distances between pairs of descriptive vectors and generates clusters of vectors arranged in a hierarchy.

The clustering machine calculates multiple scores of the hierarchy by varying a scalar and calculating a separate score for each scalar. The calculation of each score is based on the two sums previously calculated for the hierarchy. The clustering machine may select or otherwise identify a balanced subset of the hierarchy by finding an extremum in the calculated scores.

Abstract: Fault tolerant querying of data distributed across multiple nodes is accomplished by each node determining and reporting its own health status and indexing status to the other nodes in the cluster via a gossip protocol. A coordinator node then prioritizes replica nodes based on the received status of the other nodes and sends query requests to those nodes based on the prioritization. Should a node fail to provide an response to a query request, further query requests are sent to a next highest priority replica node containing the relevant data. This results in improved query performance by avoiding busy nodes and further provides a fault tolerant approach to data queries.
