Abstract
To adaptively self-localize distributed data processing and data distribution and reduce data transfer costs in a network monitoring system, data has a corresponding ownership association. For each data access, an ownership association value for the accessed data may be modified based on whether the access originated with a current owner processing node or a second most-frequently accessing processing node. The ownership association value indicates a strength of the ownership association between the data and the owner and is based on at least a recent history of accesses of the data by the current owner and the second most-frequently accessing node. When the ownership association value traverses a selected cutoff, ownership association of the data is transferred from the current owner to the second most-frequently accessing node. The ownership association transfer contributes to self-localizing data processing based on a source of input regarding the data.
