Systems and methods are directed to monitoring and managing a health of a content processing data ingestion pipeline. In example embodiments, a plurality of content elements are ingested from a source to a destination through the ingestion pipeline, whereby the ingestion pipeline comprises a plurality of nodes between the source and the destination. A data management system detects a gap in the ingestion pipeline. The gap indicates a difference associated with a content element of the plurality of content elements between a first node and a second node of the ingestion pipeline. In response to detecting the gap, the data management system automatically triggers reingesting of the content element from the first node. The data management system also determines, based on monitoring of the ingestion pipeline, the health of the ingestion pipeline and provides a dashboard that graphically represents the health.

Content processing data ingestion pipeline monitoring and management system

An item of content is received and it is analyzed to identify any different types of parsers that can be used to parse the item of content based on prior, user-selected parsers. One or more parsers is selected, based upon the content type in the item of content and based upon the prior, user-selected parsers. The selected parser is constructed in a server environment and is controlled to parse the item of content.

Dynamically generated content understanding system

Computer systems, devices, and associated methods of providing distributed index searching are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a database server, search terms included in a search query for content from a member and in response to receiving the search terms, determining a subset of the distributed indices to be searched in response to the search query based on the received search terms and one or more records of searching features on the database server. The method also includes providing the determined list of distributed indices to be searched based on the search terms in the search query.

Distributed index searching in computing systems

Technologies are described herein for locating relevant content items across multiple disparate content sources. Query parameters are received from a user interface for defining a query for searching a number of content sources located on multiple, disparate content servers. A native search is executed on each of the content servers based on the received query parameters, and query statistics and other data regarding content items in the content sources matching the query parameters are received. The query statistics are aggregated across the content servers and presented in the user interface. The presentation of the query statistics may be broken out by each content source, by each query phrase segmented from the query, and the like. In addition, a preview of a number of content items matching the query parameters is presented based on the data received.

Locating relevant content items across multiple disparate content sources

One or more indirect recipients of a communication item within a communication management application (CMA) may be preserved in-place. Indirect recipients include individual recipients within a distribution list (DL) via TO, carbon copy (CC), and/or blind carbon copy (BCC) fields of the communication item. At time of submission of the communication item, the CMA in conjunction with an assistant service may expand the DL to retrieve a list of individual recipients from the DL. The DL may be expanded by querying a directory server associated with the CMA. The DL expansion list may be saved to the communication item at the CMA by updating one or more properties of the communication item according to the expansion list. The DL expansion list may then be referenced for indexing so that a discovery search may be performed in-place at the CMA if and when the search is needed.

In-place recipient preservation

Embodiments are directed to determining in an email data store which of a plurality of email mailboxes is searchable, to searching multiple mailboxes in an email data store and to preserving data items that are placed on hold. In an embodiment, a web service receives a request to determine which among many different email mailboxes is available for searching. The web service allows multiple different programs to search the email data store. The web service sends a query to the email data store to determine which email mailboxes are available for searching. The web service also returns a list of those email mailboxes which are searchable in the data store. The searchable mailboxes have an appropriate, specified version and permissions indicating that the mailbox is searchable.

Cross-platform data preservation

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that use code access security for providing runtime accessibility checks. A request is received from a first program to access at least one private member of a second program at runtime. If the first program has a greater than or equal security context than the second program, then the first program is granted access to the at least one private member of the second program. This code access security check can be provided in a framework environment that is responsible for managing programs that are from unknown or untrusted sources.

Using code access security for runtime accessibility checks

A requirement for a versioned resource is fulfilled, particularly in light of compatibility constraints of the requirement. Versions of the versioned resource are associated with compatibility information, such as a feature version and a service version, for example. In fulfilling the requirement, compatibility logic may be applied to identify versions that are compatible with the requirement, and selection logic may be applied to select a preferred version from the compatible versions.

Selection of versioned resource among multiple compatible versions

A hierarchical software update distribution system and method for distributing software updates is presented. The update distribution system includes a root update service node and at least one update service node. In an update distribution system, each update service node, except the root update service node, has one parent update service node. Each update service node may function as a parent update service node to child update service nodes.
