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 provides users with the ability to specify logical rules in an application. The system processes the logical rules by generating a DAG of transformations representing the logical rules and converts the DAG of transformations into a logical rules Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD) DAG of transformations. The system processes events in an event batch against the RDD DAG of transformations to generate a set of output results for the user.
