Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for throttling a distributed processing system. In one aspect, a method includes identifying records being processed by a distributed processing system that performs agent processes, each of the records including a corresponding timestamp; determining, based on timestamps of the records that have been processed by a first agent process, a first agent progress; identifying a dependent agent process performed by the distributed processing system, wherein the dependent agent process processes only records that have been processed by the first agent process; determining, based on timestamps of records that have been processed by the dependent agent process, a dependent agent progress; and throttling performance of the first process based on the first agent progress and the dependent agent progress.
