Amazon Neptune now supports online index rebuild to reclaim storage - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Neptune Database now supports online index rebuild, a new capability that helps database administrators and application teams defragment Neptune indexes and reclaim unused storage space without taking their database offline. Over time, insert, update, and delete operations create gaps of unused space within data pages, keeping the VolumeBytesUsed metric artificially elevated even after data is deleted. This fragmentation increases I/O costs and degrades query performance for teams running Gremlin, openCypher, or SPARQL workloads at scale.

With online index rebuild, read and write queries continue uninterrupted on both the writer instance and read replicas throughout the entire rebuild process. You can target all indexes, only quad indexes, or only dictionary indexes, making this feature well-suited for post-deletion cleanup, periodic maintenance, storage limit management, and performance tuning on heavily fragmented databases. Tunable concurrency and write buffer size settings let you balance rebuild speed against workload impact, while built-in storage safety mechanisms protect against storage exhaustion during the operation.

Online index rebuild is available starting with Amazon Neptune engine release 1.5.0.0 on provisioned writer instances, in all regions where Amazon Neptune Database is supported. To learn more about configuring and running online index rebuild, including API references and tuning guidance, visit the Amazon Neptune documentation.

[MS] Pulling a single item from a C++ parameter pack by its index, remarks - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

In my earlier discussion of pulling a single item from a C++ parameter pack by its index , I noted that with the Pack Indexing proposal, you would be able to write this to pull an item from a parameter pack while preserving its reference category. template<int index, typename...Args> void example(Args&&... args) { auto&& arg = (Args...[index]&&)args...[index]; using Arg = Args...[index]&&; } Why did I need to apply the (Args...[index]&&) cast ? Why can't I just write this: auto&& arg = args...[index]; or possibly decltype(auto) arg = args...[index]; Well, when you write the name of a variable, the result is an lvalue reference, even if the variable is an rvalue reference . Watch: struct S { S(S&); // construct from lvalue S(S&&); // construct from rvalue }; void whathappens(S&& s) { S t = s; // which will it use? } Try it out in your favorite compiler. This code construc...

Debjyoti Ganguly shares insights on the security benefits and configuration of GHAS Code Scanning with Azure DevOps. Boosting Azure DevOps Security with GHAS Code Scanning Code scanning, a pipeline-based tool available in GitHub Advanced Security, is designed to detect code vulnerabilities and bugs within the source code of ADO (Azure DevOps) repositories. Utilizing CodeQL as a static analysis tool, it performs query analysis and variant analysis. When vulnerabilities are found, it generates security alerts. CodeQL CodeQL is a powerful static analysis tool used for showing vulnerabilities and bugs in source code. It enables developers to write custom queries that analyze codebases, searching for specific patterns and potential security issues. By converting code into a database format, CodeQL allows for sophisticated, database-like queries to detect flaws. CodeQL in Action 1. Preparing the Code Create a CodeQL Database : Extract and structure the code into a database for analy...
