A computing system is configured to (i) detect a window open sentinel indicating one or more reconciliation rules for a window within an unbounded stream of events, (ii) detect a shard open sentinel indicating one or more reconciliation rules for the shard, (iii) receive a set of events produced within the shard, (iv) detect a shard close sentinel indicating producer-generated reconciliation attribute(s) for the shard, (v) execute the reconciliation rules for the shard to thereby generate consumer-generated reconciliation attribute(s) for the shard, (vi) reconcile the consumer-generated reconciliation attributes for the shard against the producer-generated reconciliation attributes for the shard, (vii) detect a window close sentinel indicating producer-generated reconciliation attribute(s) for the window, (viii) execute the reconciliation rules for the window to thereby generate consumer-generated reconciliation attribute(s) for the window, and (ix) reconcile the consumer-generated reconciliation attribute(s) for the window against the producer-generated reconciliation attribute(s) for the window.

Reconciliation systems and methods for unbounded streams

A computing system is configured to (i) inject, into an unbounded stream of events produced by the computing system, a window open sentinel that indicates one or more reconciliation rules for the window, (ii) inject, into the unbounded stream of events, a shard open sentinel that indicates one or more reconciliation rules for a shard, wherein the shard is within the window, (iii) transmit a set of events produced within the shard, (iv) execute the reconciliation rules for the shard to thereby generate one or more reconciliation attributes for the shard, (v) inject, into the unbounded stream of events, a shard close sentinel that indicates the reconciliation attributes for the shard, (vi) execute the reconciliation rules for the window to thereby generate one or more reconciliation attributes for the window, and (vii) inject, into the unbounded stream of events, a window close sentinel that indicates the reconciliation attributes for the window.

Archive systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, an archival information storage configuration method comprises: performing an information accessing process including determining if the information is associated with an archive process; and performing an archive storage boundary determination process including establishing archive storage boundaries based upon characteristics indicating potential sharing of the information and potential impacts on performance of archival storage operations. In one exemplary implementation, the archive storage boundary determination process comprises: performing an information mining process including identifying an indication the information is potentially shared; and performing an archival boundary selection process including selecting an archive storage boundary based in at least part upon results of the information mining process.
