1. A computer program product for processing a stream of tuples, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code comprising computer readable program code configured to:

  • receive the stream of tuples for processing by a plurality of processing elements to produce a processing result;

    segment the stream of tuples into a plurality of partitions, each of the plurality of partitions including a subset of the stream of tuples;

    maintain a processing history for each of the plurality of partitions, the processing history including input values for tuples in the partition and further including output values for the tuples in the partition;

    determine that a performance metric falls outside a performance threshold, the performance metric associated with the processing by the plurality of processing elements to produce the processing result;

    determine, based on the processing history of a first partition and further based on the determining that the performance metric falls outside the performance threshold, that tuples in the first partition substantially contribute to the processing result;

    determine, based on the processing history of a second partition and further based on the determining that the performance metric falls outside the performance threshold, that tuples in the second partition do not substantially contribute to the processing result;

    continue the processing of the tuples in the first partition by the plurality of processing elements; and

    discontinue the processing of the tuples in the second partition by the plurality of processing elements.
