Abstract:
A streams manager monitors performance of a streaming application and determines if operators are underperforming according to a threshold. When the performance needs to be improved, the streams manager automatically modifies the flow graph to offload or reroute a stream of data, or part of a stream of data, to a similar operator to more efficiently utilize streaming resources. Operators are provided with multiple ports to allow the streams manager to send additional streams to the operator.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method executed by at least one processor for managing a streaming application, the method comprising:\n executing a streaming application that comprises a flow graph with a plurality of operators that process a plurality of data tuples; monitoring performance of the streaming application; determining a first operator in the flow graph that is underperforming; and offloading stream flow to the first operator to a second operator comprising:\n determining the second operator has excess capacity and is compatible with the underperforming first operator, wherein the second operator has a first input port that receives data from a second streaming application and first output port that outputs data to the second streaming application, wherein the second operator has a second input port; \n configuring to route data from the streaming application to the second input port of the second operator; and \n configuring to route data from the second output port of the second operator to the first streaming application.
