摘要： The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate automated delivery of notifications to notification sinks while mitigating interface development and deployment within the framework of a notification platform. One or more message delivery channels are provided with the notification platform that can be associated with an extension component for delivering the notifications. The extension component automatically wraps an underlying message in a protocol associated with a notification sink such as wrapping a message post from a notification source within a common delivery protocol. The extension component can inherit delivery properties from an underlying platform interface associated with the delivery channels in order to mitigate coding and development details involved when utilizing or invoking the platform interface. Furthermore, the extension component enables various message protocols to be modeled as separate objects without having to implement higher-level or more complex aspects of the underlying interface.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention relate to asynchronously replicating data in a distributed computing environment. To achieve asynchronous replication, data received at a primary data store may be annotated with information, such as an identifier of the data. The annotated data may then be communicated to a secondary data store, which may then write the data and annotated information to one or more logs for eventual replay and committal at the secondary data store. The primary data store may communicate an acknowledgment of success in committing the data at the primary data store as well as of success in writing the data to the secondary data store. Additional embodiments may include committing the data at the secondary data store in response to receiving an instruction that authorizes committal of data through a identifier.

摘要： Presented herein are methods of continuously verifying data and repairing errors introduced during replication. In a particular embodiment, a primary data store sends out information sufficient to create a checkpoint together with a checksum for the data being verified at that checkpoint. At the secondary data store, a checkpoint is created in accordance with the checkpointing information, and a checksum is calculated over the indicated data at the created checkpoint. If the calculated checksum disagrees with the received checksum, additional checksums are calculated over subranges of the indicated data and compared with corresponding checksums over the data at the primary data store. The checksums at the primary data store may be requested from the primary data store or calculated locally based on the received overall checksum. Once an erroneous entry is identified, it can then be re-replicated from the primary data store to restore data consistency.

摘要翻译： 这里提出的是连续验证数据和修复复制期间引入的错误的方法。 在特定实施例中，主数据存储器发出足以创建检查点的信息以及在该检查点处正在验证的数据的校验和。 在次级数据存储中，根据检查点信息创建检查点，并且在创建的检查点处对指示的数据计算校验和。 如果计算的校验和与接收到的校验和不一致，则在指定数据的子范围内计算额外的校验和，并与主数据存储器上的数据相对应的校验和进行比较。 可以从主数据存储器请求主数据存储器上的校验和，或者基于接收到的总体校验和在本地计算。 一旦识别出错误的条目，它就可以从主数据存储重新复制，以恢复数据的一致性。

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods and computer storage media for facilitating the structured storage of binary large objects (Blobs) to be accessed by an application program being executed by a computing device. Generally, the manipulation of Blobs in a structured storage system includes receiving a request for a Blob, which may be located by way of a Blob pointer. The Blob pointer allows for the data, such as properties, of the Blob to be identified and located. Expired properties are garbage collected as a manipulation of the Blob data within a structured storage system. In an embodiment, the Blob is identified by a key that is utilized within a primary structured index to located the requested Blob. In another embodiment, the requested Blob is located utilizing a secondary hash index. In an additional embodiment, the Blob is locate utilizing a file table.

摘要： Presented herein are methods of replicating versioned and hierarchical data structures, as well as data structures representing complex transactions. Due to interdependencies between data entities and a lack of guaranteed message ordering, simple replication methods employed for simple data types cannot be used. Operations on data structures exhibit dependencies between the messages making up the operations. This strategy can be extended to various types of complex transactions by considering certain messages to depend on other messages or on the existence of other entries at the data store. Regardless of origin, these dependencies can be enforced by suspending the processing of messages with unsatisfied dependencies until all of its dependencies have been met. Alternately, transactions can be committed immediately, creating entities that include versioned identifiers for each of their dependencies. These entities can then be garbage collected of the parent objects are not subsequently created.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention relate to invoking and managing load-balancing operation(s) applied to partitions within a distributed computing environment, where each partition represents a key range of data for a storage account. The partitions affected by the load-balancing operation(s) are source partitions hosted on a primary storage stamp and/or destination partitions hosted on a secondary storage stamp, where the primary and secondary storage stamps are located in geographically distinct areas and are equipped to replicate the storage account's data therebetween. The load-balancing operation(s) include splitting partitions into child partitions upon detecting an increased workload as a result of active replication, merging partitions to form parent partitions upon detecting a reduction in workload as a result of decreased processing-related resource consumption, or offloading partitions based on resource consumption. A service within a partition layer of the storage stamps is responsible for determining when to invoke these load-balancing operation(s).
