Abstract
A system and method for load balancing between components of a distributed data grid. The system and method support dynamic data migration of selected data partitions in response to detection of hot spots in the data grid which degrade system performance. In embodiments, the system and method relies upon analysis of per-partition performance statistics for both the identification of data nodes which would benefit from data migration and the selection of data nodes for migration. Tuning of the data migration thresholds and method provides for optimizing throughput of the data grid to avoid degradation of performance resulting from load-induced hot spots.
