Patent attributes
A distributed event processing system is disclosed that receives continuous data streams, registers a continuous query against the data streams, and continuously executes the query as new data appears in the streams. In certain embodiments, the distributed event processing system deploys and executes applications (e.g., event processing applications) by distributing the execution of the application on a cluster of machines within the system. In certain embodiments, the system receive updates to an application, processes the updated application against a continuous stream of data, and continuously generates updated results to a user. In certain embodiments, the system reduces delays associated with application deployment and execution when updates to an application are received. The system enables a user to view results pertaining to an updated application quickly without experiencing the typical deployment and execution delays that occur when updates to an application are made.
