One example is provided in the form of bypassing code flows of an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process.

Abstract: A system and method unlock a passcode-secured device using force detection and haptic feedback. When prompted for a passcode, a user applies a press and hold gesture, applying continuous pressure force, to a surface of the device while receiving tactile feedback at the surface in the form of vibratory pulses. The vibratory pulses continue until the pressure force is released from the surface. The user counts the number of pulses sensed by tactile feedback at the surface until the desired number is obtained, then releases the pressure force from the surface, signaling that the pulse count should be entered as a passcode digit value. The process is repeated for each sequential passcode digit until a passcode is entered in the device. The device unlocks if the entered passcode matches a reference passcode in the device.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to large-scale graph processing to determine second-degree connections for members of a social network. A social graph is duplicated into two graphs, where each of the two graphs are partitioned into various partitions. The partitions are each sorted according to a predetermined key selected from each of the graphs. The partitions are then assigned logical Work Units, where a first set of Work Units are determined from a first graph and second set of Work Units are determined from a second graph. The Work Units are determined to be asymmetrical such that the partitions of the first set of Work Units are assigned differently than the partitions of the second set of Work Units. One set of Work Units are loaded in-memory and another set of Work Units are streamed to a mapping module process, which determines the second-degree connections from the sets of Work Units.

Abstract: Data is migrated between a source database and a target database. The source database management system (“DBMS”) remains operational during the migration. A user selects the source DBMS and target DBMS, provides connection information used to connect to the database management systems and selects a virtual machine instance to perform the migration in conjunction with a database migration service. After the setup is complete, the virtual machine instance in conjunction with the database migration service performs data type transformations, and other operations, without user intervention. The database migration service also converts, without user intervention, the source schema and code to a format compatible with the target DBMS. Any code that is not converted is marked to assist the user of the database migration service identify where manual re-coding is required. The database migration service can also provide recommendations as to a target DBMS that is a suitable target DBMS.
