Efficient utilization of read-ahead buffer by partitioning read-ahead buffer in correspondence with selectors

摘要

A server computing device receives an update message from a client computing device at which a read-ahead buffer has been partitioned into partitions corresponding to selectors. The selectors correspond to different types of the messages of interest to be consumed by a given consuming application running on the client computing device. The update message specifies a given partition of the read-ahead buffer that requires filling with new messages matching the selector of the given partition. The server computing device sends the new messages requested in the update message to the client computing device, to fill the given partition of the read-ahead buffer at the client computing device.
