Appl. No.:

13/108604

Inventors:

Amit Agarwal - Fremont CA, US
Michael Sheldon - Seattle WA, US
Andrew Kadatch - Redmond WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707769, 707E17014

Abstract:

In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods systems, and program products. A request to store data is received. The data is stored as an object in a repository. A request to create a table is received, where the request identifies a name for the table. The table is created with the name. A request to import the data into the table is received. The data is imported into the table, where importing the data in the object into the table includes converting the data in the object into columnar stripes, and storing the columnar stripes in association with the table. A request to perform a query on the table is received, where the request includes the query and identifies the table. The query is performed on the table, where performing the query includes querying one or more of the columnar stripes.

International Classification:

G06F 3/16
H04R 1/10

Abstract:

Examples described herein relate to transitioning a playback session between portable playback devices such as “smart” headphones, earbuds, and handheld speakers with playback devices of a zone-based media playback system. Exemplary techniques facilitate continuity of playback when transitioning between locations (e.g., from at home to on-the-go or vice versa) or between listening paradigms (e.g., personal or out-loud playback of audio content). An example implementation includes detecting a swap trigger, determining the source playback device(s) and target playback device(s), and performing a playback session swap between the source playback device(s) and target playback device(s).

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A system includes a first data center, a second data center, and a third data center. The multiple data centers are configured to replicate a logical collection of data that comprises multiple logical partitions of data. The system comprises a first writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a first logical partition of data that is stored by the first data center. The system comprises a second writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a second logical partition of data that is stored by the second data center. The system comprises a third writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a third logical partition of data that is stored by the third data center.
