A server system, coupled to a linear communication orbit, has a plurality of function modules. Each function module is configured to collect data from machines located at nodes of the linear communication orbit, process collected data according to a schema definition to generate result data, and store the result data in a database. Data collection requests, based on the schema definition, are sent through the linear communication orbit to collecting data from a set of machines via the linear communication orbit. In some embodiments, a central data management module of the one or more servers is configured to provide the schema definition to and receive result data reported from the function modules.

Distributed data analysis for streaming data sources

This application is directed to a distributed data processing method performed at a server system coupled to a linear communication orbit. The server system has a plurality of function modules. Each function module is configured to collect data related to a core function from the linear communication orbit. Each function module includes an internal client configured to adaptively perform a set of data processing operations according to a schema definition, including generating a data collection request for collecting raw data items, sending the data collection request through the linear communication orbit, collecting the requested raw data items from a set of machines via the linear communication orbit, and performing analysis on the collected raw data items. In some embodiments, a central data management module of the one or more servers is configured to provide the schema definition to and receive result data reported from the function modules.
