Abstract
An event notification method for distributed processing systems provides reduction of queue space and event processing bandwidth associated with duplicate events such as a particular event that is duplicated and results in multiple event notifications propagated for multiple consumers. When a duplicate event notification is received at an input to an event notification queue, rather than queuing the duplicate event notification, a sequence number of the event notification already in the queue is updated to indicate to the event consumer, exactly how many duplicate events have been received. The timestamp of the updated event notification may also be set to the timestamp of the most recently received duplicate event notification.
