Solution Overview

Problem

Current data query systems face challenges in managing query latency and data freshness due to unintegrated loader and cache managers, inefficient data loading, and limited loader scalability, leading to resource wastage and high query latency.

Innovation Solution

A data query method that analyzes query and loading costs to adjust data loading strategies, utilizing a graph structure for data storage and deploying scalable loaders, ensuring data freshness and reducing query latency by pre-loading associated data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Reliability

If data is loaded in real-time from data source to data destination, then data freshness is improved, but query latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata freshnessVSAvoidquery latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by analyzing query patterns and pre-loading associated data into the data destination before actual queries occur. The loader manager proactively identifies data that is likely to be queried based on query pattern analysis, loads this data in advance, and stores it in the data destination, thereby eliminating the need for real-time loading during query operations and reducing query latency while maintaining data freshness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the loading strategy based on query patterns and data freshness requirements. The loader manager continuously monitors query patterns, dynamically determines which data to pre-load, and adapts the loading frequency and volume according to changing query demands and data freshness targets, optimizing the balance between data freshness and query latency in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If arbitrary data is loaded to data destination without query analysis, then data availability is improved, but resource utilization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoidresource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the loader manager continuously analyzes query patterns returned from the query manager, uses this feedback to identify which data is actually being queried, and adjusts the pre-loading strategy accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that only data relevant to actual query patterns is loaded, avoiding waste of resources on arbitrary data while maintaining high data availability for queried items

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters of the loading process based on query pattern analysis. The loader manager adjusts loading frequency, loading volume, and data selection criteria according to the analyzed query patterns, transforming the loading process from a static arbitrary loading approach to a dynamic parameter-adjusted approach that optimizes resource utilization while ensuring data availability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If loader and cache managers operate independently, then system modularity is improved, but query efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem modularityVSAvoidquery efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges the loader manager and cache manager into an integrated collaborative system. The loader manager and cache manager communicate and coordinate their operations - the loader manager analyzes query patterns and pre-loads data, while the cache manager manages the cached data and coordinates with the loader manager for refilling and updating. This merging maintains the modular structure of separate components while enabling efficient collaboration to improve query efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
