TIME AND VALUE ORDERED DATA OBJECTS FOR A BACKUP OF A DATA SET - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202181 titled 'TIME AND VALUE ORDERED DATA OBJECTS FOR A BACKUP OF A DATA SET
The abstract of the patent application describes a method for ordering items stored in data backups using time and value ordering. Changes to a data set are recorded in a change log, which is then used to update an in-memory table describing changes to items up to a current time. An event is detected to seal the in-memory table, and a persistent data object is generated to order the items in the in-memory table based on keys and time values.
- Items stored in data backups are ordered using time and value ordering.
- Changes to a data set are recorded in a change log.
- An in-memory table is updated with changes from the change log.
- An event is detected to seal the in-memory table from further updates.
- A persistent data object is generated to order items based on keys and time values.
- The persistent data object is stored as part of a backup for the data set.
Potential Applications: - Data backup systems - Database management - Data recovery services
Problems Solved: - Efficiently ordering items in data backups - Managing changes to a data set - Ensuring data integrity and consistency
Benefits: - Improved data organization - Faster data recovery processes - Enhanced data backup reliability
Commercial Applications: Title: "Data Backup and Management System" This technology can be used in industries such as IT, data storage, and cloud computing to enhance data backup and management processes, leading to more reliable and efficient data handling.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method of time and value ordering improve data backup systems? 2. What are the key advantages of using a change log to track changes in a data set?
Original Abstract Submitted
time and value ordering may be applied for items stored in data backups. a change log that persists changes to a data set may be updated with changes and used to update an in-memory table for the data set, which describes changes to items up to a current time. an event may be detected to seal the in-memory table from subsequent updates and a persistent data object that orders the items in the in-memory according to both keys of the respective items and the respective time values of the items, as stored in the change log, may be generated and stored as part of a backup for the data set.
