  • Patent number: 11662909
    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently maintaining metadata stored among a plurality of solid-state storage devices. A data storage subsystem supports multiple mapping tables. Records within a mapping table are arranged in multiple levels. Each level stores at least pairs of a key value and a physical pointer value. The levels are sorted by time. New records are inserted in a created new highest (youngest) level. No edits are performed in-place. A data storage controller determines both a cost of searching a given table exceeds a threshold and an amount of memory used to flatten levels exceeds a threshold. In response, the controller incrementally flattens selected levels within the table based on key ranges. After flattening the records in the selected levels within the key range, the records may be removed from the selected levels. The process repeats with another different key range.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to autonomous tuning of a data grid of documents in a database. Herein are techniques for storage cells to autonomously maintain local indices and other optimization metadata and algorithms to accelerate selective access into a distributed collection of documents. In an embodiment, each storage cell persists a respective subset of documents. Each storage cell stores, in memory, respective index(s) that map each item to location(s), in one or more documents of the respective subset of documents, where the item occurs. One or more computers execute, based on at least a subset of the indices of the storage cells, a data access request from a database management system. In an embodiment, a cloud of JSON document services provides an easy-to-use, fully autonomous JSON document database that horizontally and elastically scales to deliver fast execution of document transactions and queries without needing tuning by a database administrator.

  • Patent number: 11113280
    Abstract: A locally optimized plan for executing a command using a sequence of steps can be determined for a single computing node. However, the locally optimized sequence of steps may not be optimized for a combined system comprising multiple computing nodes, any one of which may be tasked with executing the command. A plan that is optimized for the combined system may be determined by comparing the predicted cost of locally optimized plans for computing nodes in the combined system.

  • Patent number: 11106627
    Abstract: A system, method and the like for front-end comprehensive validation of data files that require processing by multiple different computing systems having different validation requirements. Validation for all of the multiple different computing systems is performed upon receipt of the data file by the data processing entity and, as such, in the event that validation results in an error/failure, the originator/sender of the data file can be notified of the error failure proximate in time to when the data file is transmitted to the data processing entity and can re-submit a valid data file in due time. In addition, the present invention is configured to insure that the validation meets the current requirements of all the computing systems that process the data file by employing a centralized data file validation requirements database that stores validation requirements for each of the computing systems.

  • Patent number: 11100142
    Abstract: The subject technology creates one or more partitions based on changes to a table, at least one of the one or more partitions overlapping with respect to values of one or more attributes with at least one of another partition and a previous partition, the creating of the one or more partitions resulting in a decrease in a degree of clustering of the table. The subject technology determines, after creating the one or more partitions, that the degree of clustering of the table is below a clustering threshold, the clustering threshold corresponding to a clustering ratio, the clustering ratio determined by at least a proportion of rows in a layout of the table that satisfy an ordering criteria based at least in part a particular attribute of the one or more attributes. The subject technology increases the degree of clustering of the table by reclustering partitions of the table.

  • Patent number: 11093500
    Abstract: A method for execution by a query processing system includes receiving a query request from a requesting entity. Query cost data is generated based on the query request by utilizing a query pricing scheme. Minimum query cost compliance data is generated for the query request based on determining whether the minimum query cost data complies with a minimum query cost rule. When the minimum query cost compliance data indicates the minimum query cost data complies with the minimum query cost rule a query result is generated based on facilitating execution of the query by executing at least one query function of the query against a database system, and the query result is transmitted to the requesting entity. When the minimum query cost compliance data indicates the query cost data does not comply with the minimum query cost rule, the query result is not transmitted to the requesting entity.

  • Patent number: 11055267
    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for proactive handling of an index update, a data point is received at an ingestion node of a time series data monitoring system. It is determined whether an update to a local index of the ingestion node is necessitated based on the data point and the local index. Provided the update to the local index is necessitated, an index entry corresponding to the data point in the local index is updated based on the data point. The index entry corresponding to the data point is marked with a volatile indicator, the volatile indicator indicating that receipt of an index update to a corresponding index entry at a durable index of the time series data monitoring system is unconfirmed. The index update to the durable index corresponding to the data point is initiated.

  • Patent number: 11030241
    Abstract: A query server identifies data collections of interest in a cloud store, and categorizes the collections based on an intended usage. Depending on the intended usage, the categorized data may be cataloged, indexed, or undergo a full intake into a column store. In a database of large data collections, some collections may experience sparse or indefinite usage. Cataloging or indexing position the collections for subsequent query access, but defers the computational burden. The full intake performs a columnar shredding of the collection for facilitating eminent and regular query access. Upon invocation of query activity, an instantiation of virtual machines provided by the cloud store vendor implements query logic, such that the VMs launch in conjunction with the cloud store having the collections. Collections therefore incur processing based on their expected usage-full intake for high query traffic collections, and reduced cataloging for maintaining accessibility of collections of indefinite query interest.

  • Patent number: 10990573
    Abstract: A fast index creation system for a cloud big data database electrically and communicatively coupled to a cloud non-relational database for inquiring and creating an index includes an application exchange module, a data exchange module, a first processing module, a second processing module and an integrated processing module. The application exchange module receives a query string inputted by a user and prompts a result index table. The data exchange module has a temporary index table. The first processing module computes the query string and generates a query instruction to compute a temporary index table for comparison and check if there is any data matched with the query instruction. If yes, then the first processing module will generate a cache index table, or else the first module will generate a create instruction provided for the second processing module to compute a non-relational database and generate a new index table.
