Resolving conflicting changes to structured data files. A method includes for a structured data file which has both a generic structure and dialects built on top of the generic structure, for which conflicting changes have been made, and where an original version of the structured data, a first version of the structured data and a second version of the structured data exist, determining a dialect of the structured data. The method further includes, based on the determined dialect performing at least one of merge or diff operations on the original version of the structured data, the first version of the structured data and the second version of the structured data.

Disclosed in the present application are a multi-shared directory tree-oriented control method and system. The method includes: setting a number of circular queues and a number of worker execution units in a Samba configuration file of a server according to a number of directories to be shared; running a Samba main process on the server; obtaining a data read-write test request from a client; and orienting request tasks of individual directories to individual worker execution units according to the data read-write test request by using a Server Message Block (SMB) message header data-based adaptive equalization control algorithm. The system includes an Input/Output (IO) execution unit, a plurality of worker execution units, a setting unit, a request obtaining unit, and a concurrency control unit. According to the present application, the data processing efficiency of a Samba server and the data processing efficiency of a client may be effectively improved.

The present disclosure is related to methods, systems, and machine-readable media for deleting snapshots. A deletion process can be performed responsive to receiving a request to delete a snapshot of a virtual computing instance (VCI) in a file system. The deletion process can include performing a first file comparison between the snapshot and a previous snapshot to determine first extents exclusive to the snapshot, performing a second file comparison between the snapshot and a subsequent snapshot to determine second extents exclusive to the snapshot, performing a third file comparison between the first extents and the second extents to determine common extents, wherein the common extents are common to the first extents and the second extents, and deleting the common extents from the file system.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for defining a first flow for one or more processing threads with access to shared data within the storage system. The one or more processing threads may be executed using the first flow. A processing thread reference count may be determined for the one or more processing threads being executed using the first flow. One or more management threads may be executed on the shared data within the storage system based upon, at least in part, the processing thread reference count.

Throughput is preserved in a distributed system while maintaining concurrency by pushing a commit wait period to client commit paths and to future readers. As opposed to servers performing commit waits, the servers assign timestamps, which are used to ensure that causality is preserved. When a server executes a transaction that writes data to a distributed database, the server acquires a user-level lock, and assigns the transaction a timestamp equal to a current time plus an interval corresponding to bounds of uncertainty of clocks in the distributed system. After assigning the timestamp, the server releases the user-level lock. Any client devices, before performing a read of the written data, must wait until the assigned timestamp is in the past.

Described herein is a computer implemented method for editing an electronic object. The method includes maintaining a local version of the electronic object and a local buffer that includes one or more local deltas. A plurality of server deltas are received from a server system, each server delta being in respect of a remote edit made to the electronic object. The plurality of server deltas are composed to generate a single composed server delta which is then transformed against the one or more local deltas to generate a transformed server delta. The local version of the electronic document is then edited by applying the transformed server delta to the local version of the electronic document.

The present technology pertains to a organization directory hosted by a synchronized content management system. The corporate directory can provide access to user accounts for all members of the organization to all content items in the organization directory on the respective file systems of the members' client devices. Members can reach any content item at the same path as other members relative to the organization directory root on their respective client device. In some embodiments novel access permissions are granted to maintain path consistency.

The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to receive operations data from a content management system, wherein the operations data comprises a log of operations, execute the log of operations, and update, based on execution of the log of operations, a remote tree representing a server state for content items stored on the content management system.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium can comprise executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: determining a workflow comprising a group of files of a distributed file system, determining a type of the workflow, determining a group of historical metrics associated with the type of the workflow, using a model generated based on machine learning applied to the group of historical metrics, determining respective predicted ranks for different settings that are able to be applied to the workflow, based on the respective predicted ranks, determining a setting, of the different settings, to use to apply to the workflow and that has a predicted rank of the respective predicted ranks that satisfies a defined criterion, and applying the setting to at least one of the group of files to decrease a latency associated with processing the workflow.

Embodiments described herein provide techniques for maintaining consistency in a distributed system (e.g., a distributed secondary storage system). According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first set of file system objects included in performing the requested file system operation is identified in response to a request to perform a file system operation. An update intent corresponding to the requested file system operation is inserted into an inode associated with each identified file system object. Each file system object corresponding to the inode is modified as specified by the update intent in that inode. After modifying the file system object corresponding to the inode, the update intent is removed from that inode.
