    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to implement a database system configured to return the state of a data item upon failure of a condition check on the data item during a conditional write. In embodiments, a write request may specify an indicator to return the item state upon condition failure. The request may specify multiple database operations to execute as a transaction, where failure of a single condition check will cause the entire transaction to fail and an item state causing the failure to be returned. The returned state of the data item may include a selection of the item's attributes specified by the request. Advantageously, these features allow a client to easily obtain the precise cause of a write's failure. Moreover, because the item state is returned only when a conditional write fails and only when requested, the response size of most write requests remains unchanged.

    Abstract: Various systems and methods of tracking database partition change log dependencies are described herein. A system is disclosed herein, according to some embodiments. A change log for a database partition of the plurality of database partitions is stored to a log store. An indication that a split of the database partition into two or more child database partitions has occurred is received. Responsive to the split of the database partition, the change log is split into two or more corresponding child change logs. A portion of the change log is deleted responsive to a determination that a respective complete snapshot is stored for each child database partition corresponding to a child change log of the change log and a determination that a retention window for the portion of the change log has passed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for processing voice input to detect and remove voice recognition errors in the context of a product attribute query. Spoken-word input may be processed to tentatively identify a query regarding a product and an attribute. A hierarchical product catalog is then used to identify categories that include the identified product, and an affinity score is determined for each category to indicate the relative strength of the relationship between the category and the attribute. The affinity score for each category is determined based on historical questions submitted to a question and answer service with regard to other products in the category. An affinity score for the product-attribute pairing is then determined based on a weighted average of the affinity scores for the product categories, and the affinity score is used to determine whether the question is valid and the voice input has been correctly processed.
