MongoDB, Inc.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide techniques for on-demand access to object data hosted in distributed object storage. A query is received for the distributed object storage database, wherein the distributed object storage database includes first object data stored in a first data center at a first geographical location, and second object data stored in a second data center at a second geographical location. It is determined that the query is for at least a portion of the first object data stored by the first data center. The query is transmitted to a first computing device in the first data center. Results are received from the first computing device for the query, and the results are provided in response to the received query.

Described herein are embodiments of a database system. The database system receives a read command to read at least some stored data. The database system may generate a plurality of snapshots of data stored in a first data storage node of a plurality of data storage nodes. The database system may determine whether data is being written to the first data storage node. Responsive to determining that data is not being written to the first data storage node, the database system may process the read command at least in part by reading at least some data stored on the first data storage node. Responsive to determining that data is being written to the first data storage node, the database system may process the read command at least in part by reading at least some data from a snapshot of the plurality of snapshots.

Provide is a visualization system that enables generation of a “dashboard” of individual visualizations. In further embodiments, the system enables users to quickly and easily generate these visualizations and integrate complex filters, queries, aggregations, etc., with simple UI input. The visualizations can be provided as a service that requests information from an underlying database. The database itself may also be hosted as a service, permitting granular and native database functions layered with the visualization architecture. The system can support additional functionality and access management to generate visualizations that can be shared with other users and/or integrated into websites, blogs, etc. The system can handle the complex logic, data interactions, dynamic data transformation, dynamic authorization, etc., needed to manage data rules (e.g., access rules layered over database permission based control, summarization/aggregation requirements, etc.) for any data being rendered in individual visualization and/or the dashboard of multiple visualizations.

According to at least one aspect, a database system is provided. The database system includes at least one processor configured to receive a restore request to restore a portion of a dataset to a previous state and, responsive to receipt of the restore request, identify at least one snapshot from a plurality of snapshots of at least some data in the dataset to read based on the restore request and write a portion of the data in the identified at least one snapshot to the dataset to restore the portion of the dataset to the previous state.

A system and computer implemented method for execution of aggregation expressions on a distributed non-relational database system is provided. According to one aspect, an aggregation operation may be provided that permits more complex operations using separate collections. For instance, it may be desirable to create a report from one collection using information grouped according to information stored in another collection. Such a capability may be provided within other conventional database systems, however, in a non-relational database system such as NoSQL, the system is not capable of performing server-side joins, such a capability may not be performed without denormalizing the attributes into each object that references it, or by performing application-level joins which is not efficient and leads to unnecessarily complex code within the application that interfaces with the NoSQL database system.

According to some aspects, a database system comprising a processor configured to execute a plurality of system components is provided. The plurality of system components may include an interface component configured to receive a write commit command and provide a write commit confirmation, a snapshot component configured to generate a plurality of snapshots of data stored in a data storage node of a plurality of data storage nodes and identify a committed snapshot representative of data that has been replicated on a majority of the plurality of data storage nodes, and a command processing component configured to modify a data element based on the write commit command, determine whether the majority of the plurality of storage nodes have replicated the modification using the committed snapshot, and generate the write commit confirmation responsive to a determination that the majority of the plurality of data storage nodes have replicated the modification.

Results are received from the first computing device for the query, and the results are provided in response to the received query.

Described herein are embodiments of a database system for performing multi-document transactions. The database system comprises a database comprising a plurality of data storage nodes. The database system receives transactions that access at least two documents stored in the database. The database system generates a transaction identifier associated with the transaction and associates operations in the transaction with the transaction identifier. The database system performs at least part of the transaction on the database and determines whether an error occurred in performing in performing the transaction. When the database system determines that an error occurred in performing the transaction, the database system reverses any performed operations of the transaction. When no error occurs in performing the transaction, the database system outputs a confirmation.
