Abstract: Each data stream in a backup job is individually tracked by data agent(s) and media agent(s) in its path, generating performance data packets in-process and merging them into the processed data stream. The data stream thus incrementally accumulates performance data packets from any number of successive backup processes. The in-process tracking also captures hierarchical relationships among backup processes and in-process subtending tasks, so that the resulting performance report can depict parent and child operations. The hierarchical relationships are embedded into the performance data packets and may be analyzed by parsing the data stream. The media agent transfers the data packets belonging to the secondary copy to secondary storage. The media agent analyzes the performance data packets in the data stream and generates a performance report, which covers the data stream from source to destination, based on the accumulated information carried by the performance data packets.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating a “dimensional zonemap” that allows a database server to avoid scanning disk blocks of a fact table based on filter predicates in a query that qualify one or more dimension tables. The zonemap divides the fact table into sets of contiguous disk blocks referred to as “zones”. For each zone, a minimum value and a maximum value for each of one or more “zoned” columns of the dimension tables is determined and maintained in the zonemap. For a query that contains a filter predicate on a zoned column, the predicate value can be compared to the minimum value and maximum value maintained for a zone for that zoned column to determine whether a scan of the disk blocks of the zone can be skipped.

Abstract: The present system uses quorum based aggregator failure detection in which a failed aggregator is detected and configured. Rather than repair and roll-up of all metrics for a period of time associated with the failed aggregator, only the specific metrics that were to be processed by the failed aggregator are repaired. Once the failed aggregator is identified, the time range for the downed aggregator and keys processed by the aggregator are identified. Keys for replica aggregators associated with the identified time ranges and key values are then pulled, provided to a batch processor, and processed. At cluster roll-up task completion, a time rollup task for cluster rollup is then started.
