Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for a streaming service generating an aggregation of data streams in response to a query from a client device for data streams matching the query. The aggregation of data streams matching the query is presented to the requesting client as a single virtual stream. The streaming service modifies the virtual stream in real-time by adding data streams matching the query that come online to the virtual stream, or deleting data streams from the virtual stream that go offline. The streaming service can partition the virtual stream if the data flow rate increases above a threshold, and reduce partitions if the data flow rate falls below a threshold. The client device can add or terminate consumer processes in response to changes in the data flow rate and partitioning.
