Utilizing a prioritized feedback communication mechanism based on backlog detection data

A database system comprises:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the database system to:
• receive a plurality of data blocks from a set of source nodes via set of relay nodes;
• generate backlog detection data based on a current data input rate of the plurality of data blocks comparing unfavorably to a backlog threshold condition;
• generate at least one feedback data block based on the backlog detection data to be sent to the set of source nodes;
• generate feedback relay node selection data selecting at least one of a plurality of nodes in the database system for facilitating routing of the at least one feedback data block from the node to at least one of the set of source nodes via a prioritized feedback communication mechanism;
• and
• send the at least one feedback data block to the at least one of the plurality of nodes selected in the feedback relay node selection data, wherein the at least one of the plurality of nodes facilitates routing of the at least one feedback data block from the node to the at least one of the set of source nodes via the prioritized feedback communication mechanism.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprises:

• at least one memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a processing module that includes a processor and a memory, causes the processing module to:
• receive a plurality of data blocks from a set of source nodes via set of relay nodes;
• generate backlog detection data based on a current data input rate of the plurality of data blocks comparing unfavorably to a backlog threshold condition;
• generate at least one feedback data block based on the backlog detection data to be sent to the set of source nodes;
• generate feedback relay node selection data selecting at least one of a plurality of nodes for facilitating routing of the at least one feedback data block from the node to at least one of the set of source nodes via a prioritized feedback communication mechanism;
• and
• send the at least one feedback data block to the at least one of the plurality of nodes selected in the feedback relay node selection data, wherein the at least one of the plurality of nodes facilitates routing of the at least one feedback data block from the node to the at least one of the set of source nodes via the prioritized feedback communication mechanism.
