US Patent 8195648 Partitioned query execution in event processing systems

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for partitioned query execution in event processing systems. A particular method includes receiving a plurality of events via an input stream. The plurality of events is partitioned into one or more groups, and a query application module is instantiated for each of the one or more groups based on a compiled query application plan. Each particular query application module for a particular group is configured to apply a query to events of the particular group to generate partial results. The method includes merging the partial results of each of the query application modules to generate merged output results and providing the output results to an output stream.
