So, you are interchanging messages between the nodes to notify the updates that needs to be executed? Message 1 and Message 2 are related? Can they be evaluated in parallel? or they require to have the same context? Cheers On Thu, Dec 29, 2011 at 4:25 PM, gboro54 <gboro54@> wrote: > Hi everyone.

The standard proposal for this kind of problem is to route messages to processing nodes according to some account key function, e.g. mod 2. Thus, all state handling for one account is done in one node. -W On 29/12/2011, gboro54 <gboro54(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Messages may or may not update the same context depending on the message.
