Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for balancing loads in a publish-subscribe system. An example method includes: selecting a first hosting node from a plurality of hosting nodes based, at least in part, on a load data selected from at least one of node-specific data representing loads on the plurality of hosting nodes and channel-specific data representing a load associated with a channel; sending a request to the first hosting node to temporarily host a portion of a channel; temporarily hosting the channel portion by the first hosting node by temporarily storing one or more messages published to the channel, and temporarily providing, to a plurality of subscribers to the channel, access to the one of more messages; receiving a request to access the channel portion; and granting permission to access the channel portion.
