High Speed Event Handling Mechanism in a Distributed System

A method for use in a distributed system configured to be implemented in one or more clusters of a communication network for delivering messages within the distributed system, each of said one or more clusters comprises a plurality of nodes and a cluster manager, wherein the method is characterized in that each of the messages comprises a data payload and a header, wherein said header comprises a tuple of metadata derived from the respective message's data payload, wherein said method comprises steps of conveying at least one of said messages from a respective node comprised in the one or more clusters to the respective cluster manager associated with said respective node from which the at least one of said messages was conveyed, and determining by the respective cluster manager whether the at least one message received from the respective node, is a message having an important payload, based on said tuple of metadata that comprises an event type, or an event related data, or a combination thereof derived from the data payload of said message, and wherein upon determining that a message received is an important message that comprises an important payload, said important message will be conveyed towards at least one node from among the plurality of nodes without further processing via a first communication path, whereas if a message received is not determined to be an important message, the message will be forwarded via a second path.
