Claim 11:
12. A system for identifying a cluster of congested issues in a set of issues stored in a database of an issue tracking system, the system comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing sequences of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
select, from the database storing the set of issues, a pivot issue, the selection of the pivot issue based on a memory condition of a pivot rank value of the pivot issue, the memory condition based on a bit length of the pivot rank value with respect to a predefined memory space designated for rank values;
use the pivot rank value stored in the predefined memory space associated with the pivot issue to identify a first adjacent issue having a first rank value that is successively lower than the pivot rank value and a second adjacent issue having a second rank value that is successively higher than the pivot rank value;
analyze a first congestion condition of the predefined memory space with respect to the pivot rank value and the first rank value;
in response to the first congestion condition satisfying a selection criteria, add the first adjacent issue to a cluster of issues;
analyze a second congestion condition of the predefined memory space with respect to the pivot rank value and the second rank value;
in response to the second congestion condition satisfying the selection criteria, add the second adjacent issue to the cluster of issues;
in response to determining that a selection termination criteria has been met, flag the cluster of issues as having a local congestion of issues; and
process the local congestion of issues to increase a number of available rank addresses between adjacent issues while maintaining memory size of the predefined memory space designated for rank values.
