20120096475 | ORDERED PROCESSING OF GROUPS OF MESSAGES - A highly parallel, asynchronous data flow processing system in which processing is represented by a directed graph model, can include processing nodes that generate, and process, groups of dependent messages and that process messages within such groups in order. Other messages can be processed in whatever order they are received by a processing node. To identify a group of dependent messages, message identifiers are applied to a message. Processing of a message may generate child messages. A child message is assigned a message identifier that incorporates the associated message identifier of the parent message. The message identifier of the parent message is annotated to indicate the number of related child messages. When a group of messages is to be processed by a processing node in order, the processing node maintains a buffer in which messages in the group are stored. When a message is received, its message identifier indicates whether it is in a group, its parent node, if any, and the number of child nodes it has if it is a parent node. From this information, it can be determined whether all messages within the group have been received. When all of the messages within the group have been received, the processing node can process the messages in order. | 04-19-2012 |

20160055205 | AUTOMATED CREATION OF JOIN GRAPHS FOR UNRELATED DATA SETS AMONG RELATIONAL DATABASES - A computer system processes a plurality of unrelated database tables to create a join graph where each node in the join graph represents a table. The nodes in the join graph are connected by weighted, directed edges, where each directed edge represents a join from a first column in a first table to a second column in a second table and where the weight of the directed edge represents a predicted level of success in performing the join. The edge weights can be based on a likelihood of finding a value from the first column in the second column. A user selects a subset of the tables, and the system creates a join tree with recommended joins between the tables selected by the user. The recommended joins are used to create a structured query language statement which is executed to return a result to the user. | 02-25-2016 |
20160055212 | AUTOMATIC JOINING OF DATA SETS BASED ON STATISTICS OF FIELD VALUES IN THE DATA SETS - A computer system processes arbitrary data sets to identify fields of data that can be the basis of a join operation.

For each pair of data sets, the computer system compares the values of fields in a first data set in the pair of data sets to the values of fields in a second data set in the pair of data sets, to identify fields having substantially similar sets of values. Given pairs of fields that have similar sets of values, the computer system measures entropy with respect to an intersection of the sets of values of the pair of fields. The computer system can recommend fields for a join operation between any pair of data sets in the plurality of data sets based on such statistical measures. | 02-25-2016 |

Nodes upstream of the ordered node (i) monitor skew between the messages being processed and messages that are ordered after the messages still being processed and that have been forwarded downstream of the node and (ii) pause processing upon reaching skew limits. The nodes upstream of the ordered node limit output of messages to be within a delta of other messages as defined by message IDs. In addition, messages removed from a flow path are replaced by Null messages for ordered processing. Child messages are encoded to incorporate parent IDs preserving ordering systems. | 01-07-2010 |
