Latest Patents
One of Jindal's latest patents focuses on record-level locks with constant space complexity. This invention describes systems and methods for implementing record locking for transactions using a probabilistic data structure. The probabilistic structure allows for the addition of data records without the growth of the data structure. It includes a hash table for each of multiple hash functions, where entries in the respective hash tables store a transaction time and locking state. To lock a record, each hash function is applied to a record key to provide an index into a respective hash table, and a minimum of the values stored in the hash tables is retrieved. If the retrieved value is less than the transaction time for a transaction attempting to lock the record, locking is permitted, and the transaction time is recorded to each of the hash tables. To commit the transaction, the probabilistic data structure is atomically updated as part of the commit operation.
Another notable patent involves using distributed services to continue or fail requests based on determining allotted time and processing time. After a service receives a request from another service, it determines the amount of time to process the request as well as a remaining time allotment to complete processing. Based on these factors, the service may decide whether to continue processing the request or fail it.
