Method and system for collecting and analyzing time-series data

摘要

A system for collecting and processing time-series data from a plurality of data source computers comprises a plurality of computer-implemented partitions and a plurality of computer implemented nodes which own respective ones of the partitions. The plurality of computer-implemented partitions comprise a plurality of processes configured to produce the desired outputs. The plurality of partitions are configured (i) to permit each of the data messages to be received at an arbitrary one of the plurality of nodes, and (ii) to forward the received data message to one or more of the plurality of nodes which own respective ones of the plurality of partitions responsible for participating in producing one of the desired outputs.
