Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a multi-tenant system that executes graph language requests using graph operations of a graph language. A graph language request—that configures tenant data for tenants in a multi-tenant system—is executed using a graph operations engine. The graph operations engine receives and parses a graph language request that includes a list of tenants and a definition of data operations. The set of data operations of the definition are executed on a tree of data operation nodes comprising a plurality of leaf nodes and a root node. Executing the data operations is based on graph language actions (e.g., composition, transformation, and aggregation) that support asynchronously returning results data associated with configuring the Tenant data. Executing the data operations of the definition causes generation of results data (e.g., root node results or leaf node results) configuration of the tenant data in the multi-tenant system.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
accessing a first set of results of a first data operation, the first data operation associated with generating the first set of results, the first set of results are associated with updating tenant data in a first tenant, wherein the first data operation comprises a first request parameter of a first command library and a first request parameter of a second command library, wherein the first request parameter of the first command library comprises a first annotation associated with the first request parameter of the second command library, the first request parameter of the second command library is an annotation of the first request parameter of the first command library with processing instructions for how to process results generated from executing the first data operation; accessing a second set of results of a second data operation, the second data operation is executed to generate the second set of results associated with updating second tenant data in a second tenant, wherein the second data operation comprises a second request parameter of the first command library and a second request parameter of the second command library, wherein the second request parameter of the first command library comprises a second annotation associated with the second request parameter of the second command library, the second request parameter of the second command library is an annotation of the second request parameter of the first command library with processing instructions for how to process results generated from executing the second data operation; using a graph operations engine, consolidating the first set of results and the second set of results into a consolidated result set, wherein the graph operations engine is associated with: a graph operations engine client, an Application Programming Interface (API), a plurality of databases, and a plurality of computing nodes that support executing the first data operation and the second data operation associated with generating the first set of results and the second set of results; and communicating the consolidated result set to the graph operations engine client to cause display of the consolidated result set.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first data operation and the second data operation are defined in a graph language request, the graph language request further comprises an aggregation definition that includes instructions on how to consolidate a plurality of results of the data operations into a consolidated result set.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the graph language request comprises graph language request parameters of a graph language grammar that supports composing the data operations, transforming the data operations, and aggregating the plurality of results.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first command library is based on a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (“HTTP”) and wherein the second command library is based on Structured Query Language (SQL).

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the first request parameter of the first command library is an HTTP request and the first request parameter of the second command library is an SQLite statement, wherein the HTTP request is annotated with the SQLite statement as a query directive that modifies a response that is returned by the HTTP request.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphs operation engine client is associated with the graph operations engine, the Application Programming Interface (API), and the plurality of computing nodes in an interconnected ring network, the plurality of databases each associated with a computing node in the plurality of computing nodes that support executing the first data operation and the second data operation to generate the first set of results and the second set of results.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of results and the second set of results are stored as one of the following graph operations engine entities: graph operation entity, graph operation result entity, and graph operation request entity, wherein the graph operations engine entities are retrievable as supplemental data.

8 . A computerized system comprising:
one or more computer processors; and computer memory storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by the one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform operations comprising: accessing a first set of results of a first data operation, the first data operation associated with generating the first set of results, the first set of results are associated with causes an update to updating tenant data in a first tenant, wherein the first data operation comprises a first request parameter of a first command library and a first request parameter of a second command library, wherein the first request parameter of the first command library comprises a first annotation associated with the first request parameter of the second command library, the first request parameter of the second command library is an annotation of the first request parameter of the first command library with processing instructions for how to process results generated from executing the first data operation; accessing a second set of results of a second data operation, the second data operation is executed to generate the second set of results associated with causes an update to updating second tenant data in a second tenant, wherein the second data operation comprises a second request parameter of the first command library and a second request parameter of the second command library, wherein the second request parameter of the first command library comprises a second annotation associated with the second request parameter of the second command library, the second request parameter of the second command library is an annotation of the second request parameter of the first command library with processing instructions for how to process results generated from executing the second data operation; using a graph operations engine, consolidating the first set of results and the second set of results into a consolidated result set, wherein the graph operations engine is associated with: a graph operations engine client, an Application Programming Interface (API), a plurality of databases, and a plurality of computing nodes that support executing the first data operation and the second data operation associated with generating the first set of results and the second set of results; and communicating the consolidated result set to the graph operations engine client to cause display of the consolidated result set.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the first data operation and the second data operation are defined in a graph language request, the graph language request further comprises an aggregation definition that includes instructions on how to consolidate a plurality of results of the data operations into a consolidated result set.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the graph language request comprises graph language request parameters of a graph language grammar that supports composing the data operations, transforming the data operations, and aggregating the plurality of results.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the first command library is based on a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (“HTTP”) and wherein the second command library is based on Structured Query Language (SQL).

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the first request parameter of the first command library is an HTTP request and the first request parameter of the second command library is
