A computer-implemented method includes receiving a query specifying an operation to perform on a first table of a plurality of data blocks stored. Each data block in the first table includes a respective reference count indicating a number of tables referencing the data block. The method also includes determining that the operation specified by the query includes copying the plurality of data blocks in the first table into a second table and, in response, for each data block of the plurality of data blocks in the first table copied into the second table, incrementing, the respective reference count associated with the data block in the first table, appending, by the data processing hardware, into metadata of the second table, a reference of the corresponding data block copied into the second table.

Zero copy optimization for select * queries

In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A system includes a first data center, a second data center, and a third data center. The multiple data centers are configured to replicate a logical collection of data that comprises multiple logical partitions of data. The system comprises a first writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a first logical partition of data that is stored by the first data center. The system comprises a second writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a second logical partition of data that is stored by the second data center. The system comprises a third writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a third logical partition of data that is stored by the third data center.

Data processing service

An untrusted application is received at a data center including one or more processing modules and providing a native processing environment. The untrusted application includes a data parallel pipeline. Secured processing environments are used to execute the untrusted application.

Parallel processing of data for an untrusted application

In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A computing system receives a first request to insert one or more first data values into a database table. The computing system identifies that first data stored by the database table is stored in a first logical partition of a logical collection of data. The logical collection of data is designated for replication among multiple data centers such that a copy of the logical collection of data is designated to be stored by each of the multiple data centers. The logical collection of data is logically partitioned into multiple logical partitions which together comprise the logical collection of data. The computing system sends, by the computing system and to the first data center, the first request to insert the one or more first data values into the database table.

Parallel processing of data

A system and method for deploying a software build from a plurality of software builds is presented. A target computer sends a request for the software build to a build master. The build master authenticates the request, permitting only authorized requests. If the request is authorized, the build master identifies a build server that stores the requested software build. The build master generates request data that identifies the build server and authentication information, and returns the request data to the target computer. The target computer submits the request, with the request data, to the build server. The build server authenticates the request according to the request data. If the request is an authorized request, the build server returns the software build to the target computer.
