Managing database change stream offsets for streaming platform system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001435B2) discloses a computer-implemented method and system for managing data streams efficiently. The method involves receiving a series of data records, storing them in a stream-processing platform with corresponding offset values, querying offset values from a time series database using a time parameter, and transmitting data requests to retrieve specific data records based on the offset values. The system includes at least one hardware processor and a memory device storing executable instructions to perform these operations, ensuring seamless data retrieval and processing.
Furthermore, the patent covers additional features such as repositioning data streams, storing offset values in the time series database, handling interruptions in data publishing, and displaying offset values as metrics of the data stream. The method and system described in the patent aim to streamline data processing, particularly in scenarios involving online content changes or server metrics. By indexing offset values in time order and utilizing a structured approach to data retrieval, the technology outlined in the patent offers a robust solution for managing and querying data streams effectively.
