Abstract:
A framework for data change notification includes a notification queue storing event notifications. Client applications can request event information regarding various data change events. For example, a client application can subscribe, via one or more APIs, to receive event information. The framework allows for session specific event notification mechanisms as well as durable event notification mechanisms that can be preserved across client sessions as well as server restarts. Innovative aspects of this invention include guaranteed delivery of event notifications, APIs to allow applications get summary of past events on the subscribed objects, automatic garbage collection/cleanup of notifications when a client session terminates.
Abstract:
The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates manipulating data associated to a data storage system, wherein the data storage system has at least one of a characteristic and a constraint associated to a data model. The data model can represent the data storage system such that the data storage system is a database-based file system. A data manipulation component can manipulate data associated to the data model and enforces at least one of the constraint and the characteristic to ensure integrity of such system. In addition, an API component can be invoked to provide the manipulation of data within the data storage system.
Abstract:
The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates mapping a data base model to a database object. A type storage system can utilize a storage mapping of a file storage data model. The mapping can describe the database object created based at least in part upon a schema and how instances of the type described in the schema are stored and/or accessed. Furthermore, a query can be provided to find at least one of an item, a document, and/or a contact that satisfy at least one criterion. The type storage system can receive data, wherein the data is at least one of a schema, a data model, a type, a query, and query criteria via an interface to provide the storing and querying. Additionally, the type storage system can generate a view that exposes at least one instance of the type.
Abstract:
The subject innovation provides a system and/or a method that facilitates developing schemas for a file storage system. A type definition component can provide a schema grammar, wherein a generator component can employ the schema grammar to build the schema for the file storage system. The schema grammar can describe information types stored in the file storage system that are represented as instances of complex types that are part of a type system that supports inheritance. The schema grammar can support a declaration of an association between types, versioning specifications, and/or content indexing specifications.
