Application: Heuristic database querying with dynamic partitioning (Patent ID: US20240184782A1)
The patent filed by Palo Alto Networks Inc. describes a method for dynamically partitioning a search space of queries in a database to enhance flexibility and efficiency in querying. This involves dividing the search space into smaller partitions by adding a dynamic partition key and values based on heuristics to the submitted query. Multiple candidate query augmentations and plans are generated and evaluated to determine the best approach in terms of result quality and latency, with pagination used for result presentation. This process is repeated until a search termination criterion is met.
The method outlined in the patent involves logically partitioning the search space based on heuristics, selecting values for the partition, augmenting the query, obtaining results, and paginating them. The selection of values is done from unsearched values of the key, and the evaluation of query plans is based on heuristic scores. The patent also covers scenarios where the database stores resources allocated to end users by SaaS vendors or CSPs, with heuristics determining the most relevant and recent resources. Additionally, the patent includes instructions for determining candidate partitions, generating query plans, and repeating the process until the termination criterion is satisfied, enhancing the efficiency of database querying.
