Patent Applications by Snowflake Inc.
20240303238. CHECKPOINTS IN BATCH FILE PROCESSING_simplified_abstract_(snowflake inc.)
Inventor(s): Thierry Cruanes of San Mateo CA (US) for snowflake inc., Igor Demura of Mountain View CA (US) for snowflake inc., Varun Ganesh of San Bruno CA (US) for snowflake inc., Prasanna Rajaperumal of Bangalore (IN) for snowflake inc., Libo Wang of Foster City CA (US) for snowflake inc., Jiaqi Yan of Menlo Park CA (US) for snowflake inc.
IPC Code(s): G06F16/2453, G06F9/48, G06F16/11, G06F16/14, G06F16/16
CPC Code(s): G06F16/24542
Abstract: embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a dynamic query execution model with fault tolerance and failure recovery techniques. embodiments of the present disclosure may utilize checkpoints to map processed output files to their corresponding input files. therefore, if an error occurs in processing one or more files, the system may only need to reschedule processing of selected file(s).
Inventor(s): Pui Kei Johnston Chu of Richmond Hill (CA) for snowflake inc., Benoit Dageville of San Mateo CA (US) for snowflake inc., Shreyas Narendra Desai of Bellevue WA (US) for snowflake inc., Sameer Deshpande of Mountain View CA (US) for snowflake inc., Subramanian Muralidhar of Mercer Island WA (US) for snowflake inc., Di Wu of Newark CA (US) for snowflake inc.
IPC Code(s): G06F16/27, G06F16/182, G06F16/245
CPC Code(s): G06F16/273
Abstract: techniques for database replication include a method performed by at least one hardware processor of a resource management node. the method includes detecting a request that a database instance of a database stored at a first network deployment is available at a second network deployment. responsive to the request, the second network deployment is provisioned with a plurality of data objects. a first data object of the plurality of data objects includes a database shell. the database shell is reconfigured as the database instance of the database based on pushing data of the database into the database shell. access to the database instance at the second network deployment is authorized based on at least a second data object of the plurality of data objects.
20240303321. TRACING SYSTEM CALL EXECUTION IN A DATABASE SYSTEM_simplified_abstract_(snowflake inc.)
Inventor(s): Brandon S. Baker of Redmond WA (US) for snowflake inc., Derek Denny-Brown of Seattle WA (US) for snowflake inc., Mark M. Manning of Penfield NY (US) for snowflake inc., Andong Zhan of San Mateo CA (US) for snowflake inc.
IPC Code(s): G06F21/53, G06F16/245
CPC Code(s): G06F21/53
Abstract: a method for tracing system call execution includes instantiating, by at least one hardware processor of a compute node, a first process and a second process. the second process executes at the compute node as a child process of the first process. detecting a notification associated with a system call initiated by the child process. the child process is pause based on the notification. at least one permission associated with the system call is retrieved via the first process. a determination is made on whether to resume the child process based on the at least one permission.
20240303366. QUERY PROCESSING IN A SECURE DATA CLEAN ROOM_simplified_abstract_(snowflake inc.)
Inventor(s): Justin Langseth of Kailua HI (US) for snowflake inc., Michael Earle Rainey of Kennewick WA (US) for snowflake inc.
IPC Code(s): G06F21/62, G06F16/245, G06F16/25, G06F16/27, G06F21/60
CPC Code(s): G06F21/6227
Abstract: embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a data clean room allowing encryption based data analysis across multiple accounts of different database users. the data clean room may also restrict which data may be used in the analysis and may restrict the output. a requesting user's data can be encrypted using a key and a provider user can generate a shareable database function that accepts the key to decrypt the data to generate the results data without exposing each others' data.
Inventor(s): Khalid Zaman Bijon of Santa Cruz CA (US) for snowflake inc., Bowei Chen of San Bruno CA (US) for snowflake inc., Thierry Cruanes of San Mateo CA (US) for snowflake inc., Simon Holm Jensen of Menlo Park CA (US) for snowflake inc., Allison Waingold Lee of Pebble Beach CA (US) for snowflake inc., Valentin K. Kuznetsov of Bellevue WA (US) for snowflake inc., Jun Li of Bothell WA (US) for snowflake inc., Subramanian Muralidhar of Mercer Island WA (US) for snowflake inc., Carl Yates Perry of Burlingame CA (US) for snowflake inc., David Schultz of Piedmont CA (US) for snowflake inc., Zixi Zhang of San Mateo CA (US) for snowflake inc.
IPC Code(s): G06F21/62, G06F16/242
CPC Code(s): G06F21/6245
Abstract: the cloud data platform receives a first query directed towards a shared dataset, the first query identifying a first operation. the platform accesses a first set of data from the shared dataset to perform the first operation, the first set of data including data accessed from a first table of the shared dataset. the cloud data platform determines that an aggregation constraint policy is attached to the first table, the aggregation constraint policy restricts output of data values stored in the first table and enforces the aggregation constraint policy on the first query based on a context of the first query. the cloud data platform generates an output to the first query based on the first set of data and the first operation, based on enforcing the aggregation constraint policy on the first query.
