Post-compression residual data object processing

A computer-implemented method for processing a set of primary data objects and a set of residual data objects, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processor, the set of primary data objects and the set of residual data objects, each residual data object of the set of residual data objects being associated with, and representative of rounding that led to, a respective primary data object of the set of primary data objects;
• evaluating, by the processor, for each residual data object of the set of residual data objects, whether removal of the residual data object breaches a data integrity rule;
• for each residual data object of the set of residual data objects for which the removal breaches the data integrity rule, implementing, by the processor, an optimization to attempt to identify at least one adjustment to the set of primary data objects, the set of residual data objects, or both the set of primary data objects and the set of residual data objects, that allows the removal to proceed without breaching the data integrity rule;
• removing, by the processor, from the set of residual data objects, each residual data object of the set of residual data objects for which the removal does not breach the data integrity rule, and each residual data object of the set of residual data objects for which the at least one adjustment is identified;
• and
• storing, by the processor, the at least one adjustment in a memory.

A computer program product for processing a set of primary data objects and a set of residual data objects, the computer program product comprising one or more non-transitory, computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method, the method comprising:

• obtaining the set of primary data objects and the set of residual data objects, each residual data object of the set of residual data objects being associated with, and representative of rounding that led to, a respective primary data object of the set of primary data objects;
• evaluating, for each residual data object of the set of residual data objects, whether removal of the residual data object breaches a data integrity rule;
• for each residual data object of the set of residual data objects for which the removal breaches the data integrity rule, implementing, an optimization to attempt to identify at least one adjustment to the set of primary data objects, the set of residual data objects, or both the set of primary data objects and the set of residual data objects, that allows the removal to proceed without breaching the data integrity rule;
• removing, from the set of residual data objects, each residual data object of the set of residual data objects for which the removal does not breach the data integrity rule, and each residual data object of the set of residual data objects for which the at least one adjustment is identified;
• and
• storing the at least one adjustment in a memory.

A system for processing a set of data objects, each data object specifying a plurality of constituent data streams, the system comprising:

• means for obtaining the set of primary data objects and the set of residual data objects, each residual data object of the set of residual data objects being associated with, and representative of rounding that led to, a respective primary data object of the set of primary data objects;
• means for evaluating, for each residual data object of the set of residual data objects, whether removal of the residual data object breaches a data integrity rule;
• means for, for each residual data object of the set of residual data objects for which the removal breaches the data integrity rule, implementing, an optimization to attempt to identify at least one adjustment to the set of primary data objects, the set of residual data objects, or both the set of primary data objects and the set of residual data objects, that allows the removal to proceed without breaching the data integrity rule;
• means for removing, from the set of residual data objects, each residual data object of the set of residual data objects for which the removal does not breach the data integrity rule, and each residual data object of the set of residual data objects for which the at least one adjustment is identified;
• and
• means for storing the at least one adjustment in a memory.
