Abstract: Load balancing is described for a distributed computing system. For instance, resource usage information of devices in a distributed system is collected at a target device in the distributed system. Further a first work task for the target device is determined to be stopped based on the resource usage information, the target device having a first authority to execute the first work task. The first authority is then caused to be released. Beneficially, each node in the distributed system can individually balance different task loads and the use of resources by different operations of the task, thereby improving the performance of the distributed system.

Abstract: Adaptive load balancing may be implemented for a distributed system. An evaluation of criteria for creating a mapping for an identifier associated with requests may be performed. The created mapping may route requests to a distributed system to request handling nodes that cache request information for performing the requests. When requests are received, if an identifier determined to be associated with the request is mapped to request handling nodes, then the request may be sent to the identified request handling nodes instead of performing a load balancing technique to select a request handling node for the request.

Abstract: Generally described, aspects of the present application correspond to maintaining a message stream for a network-based data store, which stream includes messages reflecting modifications to the data store. Messages within the stream may be used to revert a state of the data store to a prior point in time reflected within the messages of the stream, such as by “rewinding” operations on the data store by use of the messages within the stream. Messages in the stream may further be used to asynchronously update a replica of the data store.
