improve forward-a-chunk loop to support low tail-latency

Open vigith opened this issue 11 months ago • 0 comments

Summary

Today, we have to fix constraints

  • [ ] only an element can be processed at a time
  • [ ] we create a map-stream (gRPC) for every batch (meaning streaming inside unary)
  • [ ] our batch is a blocking batch and will not proceed if we have a slow message
  • [ ] Read, Execute, Forward, Ack is an ordered (sync) workflow for a batch, we need to make it out-of-order non-blocking
  • [ ] move away from blocking batch to bounded concurrency (X in a batch to always have X in the backlog)

We need to remove these constraints without affecting the correctness or completeness property.

Use Cases

  • Better throughput
