Abstract
An example method for scaling event processing in a network environment is provided and includes maintaining a first portion of a decision tree at a first server in the network environment, delegating a second portion of the decision tree from the first server to a second server, processing event data substantially simultaneously at the first server using the first portion of the decision tree and at the second server using the second portion of the decision tree, wherein the processing comprises determining a match between the event data and information stored at nodes in the decision tree. In various embodiments, the decision tree is distributed across a plurality of servers in the network, wherein each participating server maintains a local copy of a respective portion of the decision tree and processes the event data using the respective portion.
