Systems and methods for storing and retrieving data
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for storing and retrieving data are disclosed. An example method includes the steps of receiving a range of addresses, storing the range of addresses in a bulk object in a database for storing information associated with addresses. In some embodiments the storing includes inserting the bulk object into an index, the index being a structure used to access objects in the database. In some embodiments, the method may further include receiving a request to retrieve the addresses stored and generating a response to the response, where the response is at least in part based on the bulk object.
1. A method of storing data, including:
receiving a range of addresses; and
storing using a processor the range of addresses as a bulk object in a database for storing information associated with addresses including inserting the bulk object into an index, the index being a structure used to access objects in the database;
wherein storing includes:
inserting an edge associated with a begin address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including a begin marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object; and
inserting an edge associated with an end address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including an end marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object.
2. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the range of addresses is a set of addresses bound by an inclusive begin address and end address.
3. A method as recited in claim 1 , further including receiving an additional address and storing the additional host address in the database, including inserting a split marker in the index when the address falls within the range of addresses.
4. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the range of addresses includes range of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
5. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the bulk object is a bulk host record associated with multiple hosts in a range of IP addresses.
6. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the bulk object is a reverse zone record.
7. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the bulk object is associated with a constraint.
8. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the range of addresses is associated with Domain Name System (DNS).
9. A system for storing data, including:
a processor configured to:
receive a range of addresses; and
store the range of addresses as a bulk object in a database for storing information associated with addresses including inserting the bulk object into an index, the index being a structure used to access objects in the database;
wherein storing includes:
inserting an edge associated with a begin address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including a begin marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object; and
inserting an edge associated with an end address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including an end marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object; and
a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory provides the processor with instructions.
10. A computer program product for storing data, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving a range of addresses; and
storing the range of addresses as a bulk object in a database for storing information associated with addresses including inserting the bulk object into an index, the index being a structure used to access objects in the database;
wherein storing includes:
inserting an edge associated with a begin address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including a begin marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object; and
inserting an edge associated with an end address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including an end marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object.
11. A method of retrieving data, including:
receiving a request to access data associated with an address within a range of addresses; and
deriving using a processor a response based at least in part on a bulk record stored in a database and inserted into an index for storing information associated with addresses;
wherein the index with the inserted bulk record includes:
an edge associated with a begin address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including a begin marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object;
an edge associated with an end address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including an end marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object.
12. A method as recited in claim 11 , wherein deriving includes identifying an edge based on the address.
13. A method as recited in claim 11 , wherein deriving includes determining that an address associated with the edge falls in the range of addresses.
14. A method as recited in claim 11 , wherein the response includes a pointer (PTR) record.
15. A method as recited in claim 11 , further including determining whether the address is delegated to a server other than the server storing the addresses authority for the addresses.
16. A method as recited in claim 11 , further including determining whether the address is overridden.
17. A method as recited in claim 11 , wherein the address includes an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
18. A method as recited in claim 11 , wherein the bulk record is a bulk host.
19. A method as recited in claim 11 , wherein the bulk record is a reverse zone record.
20. A method as recited in claim 11 , wherein the bulk record is associated with a constraint.
21. A method as recited in claim 11 , wherein the address is associated with Domain Name System (DNS).
22. A system for retrieving data, including:
a processor configured to:
receive a request to access data associated with an address within a range of addresses; and
derive a response based at least in part on a bulk record stored in a database and inserted into an index for storing information associated with addresses;
wherein the index inserted with the bulk record includes:
an edge associated with a begin address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including a begin marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object;
an edge associated with an end address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including an end marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object; and
a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory provides the processor with instructions.
23. A computer program product for retrieving data, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving a request to access data associated with an address within a range of addresses; and
deriving a response based at least in part on a bulk record stored in a database and inserted into an index for storing information associated with addresses;
wherein the index inserted with the bulk record includes:
an edge associated with a begin address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including a begin marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object;
an edge associated with an end address of the range of addresses into the index, the edge including an end marker for the ranger of addresses and a reference to the bulk object.
