Abstract
A computing system partitions received events into a number of channels by account identifier. The channels receive the events and perform de-duplication of the events. This de-duplication can be performed with a filter that is updated to reflect the receipt of any original event. The filter may be used to either determine that the event is not a duplicate of another, or to determine that the event cannot be ruled out as being a duplicate of another. In the latter case, further processing may be performed to for definitively determine whether the event is truly a duplication, or in the alternative, the event may be immediately treated as a duplicate.
