Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: receiving a stream of tuples to be processed by a plurality of stream operators, selecting a first delay pattern for the aggregate stream operator, the first delay pattern is a pattern of time-based delays on the aggregate stream operator to change the first data rate of the stream of tuples from the first input stream operator to a third data rate, the first delay pattern defines when operations are performed by the aggregate stream operator, the first delay pattern includes a holding delay pattern that further includes: measuring one or more performance factors, a performance factor indicates a first performance of the computing infrastructure, wherein a performance factor also indicates an operator graph first performance, the operator graph first performance concerns the stream of tuples within the plurality of stream operators, the measuring one or more performance factors includes: determining whether the first delay pattern is an optimal delay pattern, the optimal delay pattern changes the first performance of the computing infrastructure to a second performance of the computing infrastructure, the determining whether the first delay pattern is the optimal delay pattern also includes:
