The present disclosure relates to a method, device and product for managing a plurality of users of an application system. According to example implementations of the present disclosure, a method is provided for managing a plurality of users of an application system. In the method, a group of users matching a search keyword from a requester user are determined among the plurality of users, the search keyword comprising at least one part of an identifier of a desired user. A requester layer of the requester user is determined in a tree structure comprising hierarchical relations among the plurality of users. A group of layers of the group of users are determined in the tree structure, respectively. The group of users are sorted based on the requester layer and the group of layers. With example implementations of the present disclosure, a user which the requester user is looking for may be sorted at a top place so as to be selected by the requester user. Furthermore, there is provided a corresponding device and computer program product.

Techniques are disclosed for generating a dynamic upgrade prediction. The prediction includes generating an initial upgrade prediction for an upgrade to be performed on a subset of component nodes; performing a real time progress review, using a centralized management node, of the upgrade, wherein each of the component nodes includes a number of stages; performing an upgrade duration comparison between the initial upgrade prediction and a real time upgrade time for a subset of the stages; and generating an updated upgrade prediction for the multi-component product upgrade based on the comparison between the initial upgrade prediction and the real time upgrade time.

According to one embodiment, one or more consistent states of a virtual machine (VM) are backed up and stored. An index library is used to extract, from the consistent state(s) of the VM, metadata corresponding to content files captured in the consistent state(s). The extracted metadata is stored into a metadata catalog, where the metadata catalog is subsequently downloaded by an index server to index the content files captured in the consistent state(s).

Methods and systems for data indexing are disclosed. According to some embodiments, an index is split into a number of slots based on a slot power value. Each of the slots is assigned with a slot number. A first subset of the slots is allocated to a first shard mapped to the index. A second subset of the slots is allocated to a second shard mapped to the index. The first subset and the second subset are respectively allocated to the first shard and the second shard based on a shard-slot mapping.
