Abstract
An online system allows creators and owners of content items presented within the system to view real-time metrics related to the content items. The online system stores data describing user interactions with content items in one or more activity logs and processes the activity logs in a distributed manner activity to identify user interactions with content items. For example, activity logs are divided into several portions that are processed in parallel using aggregation operators to generate user interaction aggregations. An aggregation includes one or more user interactions associated with the same content item and sharing certain criteria. From the user interaction aggregations, the online system determines one or more requested metrics, and may combine user interaction aggregations related to different content items when computing metrics.
