Dependency management with atomic decay
First Claim

1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
- recording, by a processor, statistics regarding invocation of a second component of a distributed computing system by a first component of the distributed computing system;
determining, by the processor, a dependency between the first component and the second component based on the statistics;
determining, by the processor, a dependency rating for the dependency based on the statistics, wherein the dependency rating identifies a degree of dependency between the first component of the distributed computing system and the second component of the distributed computing system;
migrating the first component from a first location to a second different location;
responsive to determining that the dependency rating for the dependency exceeds a dependency threshold, migrating the second component to the second location;
applying an atomic decay to the dependency rating, wherein the atomic decay reduces a value of the dependency rating over time according to a specified atomic decay factor; and
resetting the dependency rating each time the first component invokes the second component.

Abstract
A processor records statistics regarding invocation of a second component of a distributed computing system by a first component of the distributed computing system. The processor determines a dependency between the first component and the second component based on the statistics and determines a dependency rating for the dependency based on the statistics. The processor migrates the first component from a first location to a second different location. Responsive to determining that the dependency rating for the dependency exceeds a dependency threshold, the processor migrates the second component to the second location.

2. A computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
recording, by the processor, statistics regarding the invocation of a second component of a distributed computing system by a first component of the distributed computing system; determining, by the processor, a dependency between the first component and the second component based on the statistics; determining, by the processor, a dependency rating for the dependency based on the statistics, wherein the dependency rating identifies a degree of dependency between the first component of the distributed computing system and the second component of the distributed computing system; determining that the first component has been migrated or will be migrated from a first location to a second location; responsive to determining that the dependency rating for the dependency exceeds a dependency threshold, marking the second component for migration to the second location; applying an atomic decay to the dependency rating, wherein the atomic decay reduces a value of the dependency rating over time according to a specified atomic decay factor; and resetting the dependency rating each time the first component invokes the second component.
