Abstract

Systems and methods for managing membership in a private data exchange are provided herein. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a request for access to a first listing of a data exchange, each listing of the data exchange comprising version metadata. The method further includes, in response to the request, accessing a first version of a data set referenced by the first listing, wherein the first version of the data set comprises a first structure defined by first version metadata, a second listing of the data exchange references a second version of the data set, the second version of the data set comprising a second structure defined by second version metadata, and the second structure is incompatible with the first structure.

Claims (55)

1. A method comprising:

receiving a request for access to a first listing of a data exchange, each listing of the data exchange comprising version metadata; and

in response to the request, accessing, by a processing device, a first version of a data set referenced by the first listing, wherein:

the first version of the data set comprises a first structure defined by first version metadata;

a second listing of the data exchange references a second version of the data set, the second version of the data set comprising a second structure defined by second version metadata; and

the second structure is incompatible with the first structure.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

requesting a confirmation for access to the second version of the data set;

modifying the first listing to comprise the reference to the second version of the data set responsive to receiving the confirmation; and

limiting, by the processing device, access to the second version of the data set referenced by the first listing.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein accessing the first version of the data set comprises limiting the access to the first listing to a subset of the data set.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein accessing further comprises verifying the version metadata.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein access to the first version of the data set is further limited based on a set of visibility and access rules for the first listing.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is a first request, and

wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a second request for access to the second listing of the data exchange, wherein the second listing comprises a reference to the second version of the data set, different from the first version; and

in response to the second request, accessing the second version of the data set that is compatible with second version metadata of the second listing.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second version of the data set comprises one or more of a different formatting from the first version of the data set, different columns from the first version of the data set, or a structure that is incompatible with the first version of the data set.

8. A system comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to:

receive a request for access to a first listing of a data exchange, each listing of the data exchange comprising version metadata; and

in response to the request, access, by the processing device, a first version of a data set referenced by the first listing, wherein:

the first version of the data set comprises a first structure defined by first version metadata;

a second listing of the data exchange references a second version of the data set, the second version of the data set comprising a second structure defined by second version metadata; and

the second structure is incompatible with the first structure.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further to:

request a confirmation for access to the second version of the data set;

modify the first listing to comprise the reference to the second version of the data set responsive to receiving the confirmation; and

limit access to the second version of the data set referenced by the first listing.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein, to access the first version of the data set, the processing device is to limit the access to the first listing to a subset of the data set.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein to access is further to verify the version metadata.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein access to the first version of the data set is further limited based on a set of visibility and access rules for the first listing.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the request is a first request, and

wherein the processing device is further to:

receive a second request for access to the second listing of the data exchange, wherein the second listing comprises a reference to the second version of the data set, different from the first version; and

in response to the second request, access the second version of the data set that is compatible with second version metadata of the second listing.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the second version of the data set comprises one or more of a different formatting from the first version of the data set, different columns from the first version of the data set, or a structure that is incompatible with the first version of the data set.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

receive a request for access to a first listing of a data exchange, each listing of the data exchange comprising version metadata; and

in response to the request, access, by the processing device, a first version of a data set referenced by the first listing, wherein:

the first version of the data set comprises a first structure defined by first version metadata;

a second listing of the data exchange references a second version of the data set, the second version of the data set comprising a second structure defined by second version metadata; and

the second structure is incompatible with the first structure.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the processing device is further to:

request a confirmation for access to the second version of the data set;

modify the first listing to comprise the reference to the second version of the data set responsive to receiving the confirmation; and

limit access to the second version of the data set referenced by the first listing.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein, to access the first version of the data set, the processing device is to limit the access to the first listing to a subset of the data set.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein to access is further to verify the version metadata.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein access to the first version of the data set is further limited based on a set of visibility and access rules for the first listing.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the request is a first request, and

wherein the processing device is further to:

receive a second request for access to the second listing of the data exchange, wherein the second listing comprises a reference to the second version of the data set, different from the first version; and

in response to the second request, access the second version of the data set that is compatible with second version metadata of the second listing.
