STORAGE METHOD, STORAGE DEVICE AND STORAGE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17706077 titled 'STORAGE METHOD, STORAGE DEVICE AND STORAGE SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a storage method for merging layers in a database and modifying data blocks. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves determining which layers in a database need to be merged.
- It identifies a specific data block to be modified based on the files of the layers being merged.
- The method reads the corresponding data block from memory and reorganizes it based on a key associated with the data block.
- If the reorganized data block's size is within a certain limit, it replaces the original data block in memory with the reorganized one.
- The key and statistical information of the reorganized data block are then stored in the appropriate file of the database.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Database management systems
- Data storage and retrieval systems
- Big data analytics platforms
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficiently merging layers in a database
- Modifying data blocks without excessive memory usage
- Organizing data blocks based on keys for faster access
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and efficiency in merging database layers
- Reduced memory usage for data block modifications
- Faster data retrieval and access based on organized keys
Original Abstract Submitted
A storage method includes determining layers that are to be merged in a database; determining a data block that is to be modified based on files of the layers that are to be merged in the database; reading a corresponding data block in the memory and reorganizing the read data block, according to a key corresponding to the data block that is to be modified; replacing the data block that is to be modified in the memory with the reorganized data block, when byte size of the reorganized data block does not exceed a first preset value; and storing the key and statistical information of the reorganized data block in a corresponding file of the database.
