Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Optimizing pipelining result sets with fault tolerance in distributed query execution." This invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products designed for optimally pipelining result sets with fault tolerance in distributed query execution. The innovation involves dividing distributed computing jobs into one or more bubbles for execution. Each bubble can be executed independently, potentially in parallel with other bubbles, when resources are available. Intra-bubble communication can be streamed between vertices within a bubble, while inter-bubble communication can be stored in durable storage. This approach provides a failure boundary for a job graph, allowing for the re-execution of a bubble along with the storage of intermediate results to recover from failures. When a vertex inside a bubble fails, computation can resume by rescheduling the execution of the failed bubble from the durable inputs. Durable storage offers a lightweight failover to manage non-deterministic behavior, and jobs can leverage streaming to enhance performance.

Another notable patent is "Validating the configuration of distributed systems." This invention encompasses methods, systems, and computer program products for validating the configuration of distributed systems. The validation process includes a collection of utilities systematically deployed across the nodes of an appliance. These utilities execute specified tasks that validate the proper functioning state of hardware and/or software components. They generate logs that can be aggregated to present a global view of the appliance.
