20150234848 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR EFFICIENT REPRESENTATION OF FILE SETS - Aspects and implementations of the present disclosure are directed to methods and systems for representing sets of files using signatures. In general, in some implementations, an audit system scans a file hierarchy comprising a root directory and a plurality of elements (e.g., directories, data files, and archive files) to identify elements satisfying an element selection criteria. The audit system creates element descriptors by identifying, for each respective identified element, one or more element component values and creating an element descriptor from the element component values. The audit system forms a string descriptor comprising an aggregation of the element descriptors and generates a signature for the string descriptor. The signature may be stored in association with metadata for the root directory. In some implementations, the audit system identifies multiple sets of files represented by equivalent signatures and records the representations of the set of files compactly. | 2015-08-20 |

20150234894 | QUERY PLANS FOR ANALYTIC SQL CONSTRUCTS - A system and method for managing data storage and data access with querying data in a distributed system without buffering the results on intermediate operations in disk storage. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234895 | Apparatus and Method for Processing Distributed Relational Algebra Operators in a Distributed Database - A database system includes a query planner with instructions executed by a processor to generate a logical plan tree. Each node of the logical plan tree is a distributed relational algebra operator. Each child node of the logical plan tree produces results processed by a parent node. The logical plan tree includes a distributed relational operator that reparations tuples of results that are at least 1 GB on a dimension and regroups the tuples on the dimension to avoid broadcasting the tuples between machines and thereby avoid consumption of network bandwidth associated with broadcasting the tuples. The logical plan tree is modified according to algebraic transformation rules. The logical plan tree is mapped to distributed query execution primitives. The distributed query execution primitives are processed on machines storing partitions of a distributed database table. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234896 | ADAPTIVE DISTRIBUTION METHOD FOR HASH OPERATIONS - A method, apparatus, and system for join operations of a plurality of relations that are distributed over a plurality of storage locations over a network of computing components. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234897 | TIME SERIES DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An unnecessary load is prevented from being applied to the system even in cases where the time series data required for the time series data analysis processing has not been collected. A time series data processing apparatus assigns an arrival time, which is a time that the time series data arrived, to the time series data sent from the data source, determines whether the requested time series data has arrived, and predicts the arrival time of the time series data, which was determined by the data arrival determination unit as not yet arrived, based on the arrival time assigned to each of the time series data. | 2015-08-20 |
