TECHNIQUE OF COMPREHENSIVELY SUPPORT AUTONOMOUS JSON DOCUMENT OBJECT (AJD) CLOUD SERVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to autonomous tuning of a data grid of documents in a database. Herein are techniques for storage cells to autonomously maintain local indices and other optimization metadata and algorithms to accelerate selective access into a distributed collection of documents. In an embodiment, each storage cell persists a respective subset of documents. Each storage cell stores, in memory, respective index(s) that map each item to location(s), in one or more documents of the respective subset of documents, where the item occurs. One or more computers execute, based on at least a subset of the indices of the storage cells, a data access request from a database management system. In an embodiment, a cloud of JSON document services provides an easy-to-use, fully autonomous JSON document database that horizontally and elastically scales to deliver fast execution of document transactions and queries without needing tuning by a database administrator.
