Patent 10901819 was granted and assigned to PayPal on January, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A system and method for distributed queuing of event messages is described. A queue of several event messages is received. One or more sub-queues is generated from the received queue. Each of the set of sub-queues is hashed. Each of the one or more sub-queues is then partitioned to a location on a storage cluster based on the hash values. For each of the set of sub-queues, the location on the storage cluster to which the sub-queue is partitioned is saved.
