1. A method for processing a stream of tuples, comprising:
- receiving a stream of tuples to be processed by a plurality of processing elements operating on one or more computer processors, each processing element having one or more stream operators;
determining by a first stream operator whether a requirement to modify processing of a first tuple by a second stream operator exists; and
associating an indication with the first tuple by the first stream operator if the requirement to modify processing of the first tuple by the second stream operator exists, the indication instructing the second stream operator to modify processing of the first tuple and output a second tuple corresponding to the first tuple.
