Jobs to create and execute a bundled application may be referenced with a simulated file system that generates reads to hosts only when the job log file is actually read. A job manager creates jobs according to the manifests and executes phases of these jobs with respect to target nodes of the distributed computing system.

Abstract: A system standardizes values that occur in large datasets before the dataset is analyzed. The system identifies values in a dataset that are similar to each other and associates those values with each other to form groups. The system determines a canonical value for each group of associated values. Within each group, the system replaces values that have been associated with each other with the canonical value for the group. As a result, the dataset is transformed into a dataset that has standardized values, and the standardized dataset is provided as input for analysis by a data analysis system. By standardizing the dataset in this manner, the data analysis system can process a larger portion of the dataset.

Abstract: In a method for reporting data loaded to a database that does not adhere to referential constraints of the database that are not enforced, a computer receives a file of Data Definition Language (DDL) statements for creating a database. The computer identifies statements from the DDL statements that comprise text indicating the statements are referential constraints that are not to be enforced.

Create view statements are used to generate database views during database build. The computer generates a file, comprising the received DDL statements without the statements that comprise the text indicating the one or more DDL statements are referential constraints not to be enforced in the database. The computer, responsive to new data being loaded to the database, creates a report comprising data from the database views.

The decision-making process is not inhibited, it is made optional. A method of inserting full-screen advertising, public service announcements, news, etc. has been developed. The server software application module described herein allows a publisher to stream URLs to a user who does not have the client-side software.

Abstract: A distributed object store in a network storage system uses location-independent global object identifiers (IDs) for stored data objects. The global object ID enables a data object to be seamlessly moved from one location to another without affecting clients of the storage system, i.e., “transparent migration”. The global object ID can be part of a multilevel object handle, which also can include a location ID indicating the specific location at which the data object is stored, and a policy ID identifying a set of data management policies associated with the data object. The policy ID may be associated with the data object by a client of the storage system, for example when the client creates the object, thus allowing “inline” policy management. An object location subsystem (OLS) can be used to locate an object when a client request does not contain a valid location ID for the object.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed in which a self-describing file is generated and utilized to provide applications with the ability to properly preserve unknown file content. A self-describing file may contain, or be associated with, an extension section that provides information that an application can use to properly calculate unknown file content. The extension section may include functions of formulas that the application can use to calculate values for data that the application would not otherwise support. This allows for the content of the self-describing file to be modified by an application that does not support all of the capabilities of the file while maintaining the integrity of the file and user experience when the file is subsequently accessed by a full featured application.

Abstract: Encoding and/or decoding of messages. On the encoding end, a composite encoder encodes message from an internal format that is used by internal system components into an external format. However, the composite encoder may encode the outgoing messages into different external formats on a per-message basis. For incoming message, a composite decoder decodes incoming messages from any one of a plurality of external formats into the internal format also on a per-message basis. A per-message report mechanism permits internal system components and the encoding/decoding components to communicate information regarding the encoding or decoding on a per message basis. XML messages can be converted automatically into Binary messages.

Abstract: Embodiments present a common access mechanism that can be used by one or more applications to access different data sources in a storage layer and have data stored in the data sources returned to the one or more applications. The common access mechanism can be presented by a data model that is implemented by a query and aggregation layer of an extensible querying/scheduling system. At least some individual data sources store data in different formats and have their own specific access mechanisms of which the one or more applications are unaware. In embodiments, the data model creates one or more data providers that are individually associated with individual data sources and knowledgeable of how to access data stored in an associated data source. At least some of the data providers receive queries for data and execute the queries using a different thread than the data model. At least some of the data providers are creatable on a thread that is a same thread as the data model.
