US Patent 11836136 Distributed pseudo-random subset generation

Distributed pseudo-random subset generation includes obtaining a data-query indicating a first table having a first column including unique values, a second table having a second column including unique values, a join clause joining the first table and the second table on the first column and the second column, and a limit value, pseudo-random filtering the first table to obtain left intermediate data and left filtering criteria, pseudo-random filtering the second table to obtain right intermediate data and right filtering criteria, obtaining intermediate results data by full outer joining the left intermediate data and the right intermediate data, obtaining results data by filtering the intermediate results data using most-restrictive filtering criteria among the left filtering criteria and the right filtering criteria, and outputting the results data, wherein outputting the results data includes limiting the cardinality of rows of the results data to be at most the limit value.
