Distribution of messages in nodes connected by a grid architecture

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing one or more sequences of instructions in nodes in a grid architecture, wherein execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors contained in the nodes causes the grid architecture to perform the actions of:

• enabling each of a plurality of recipient nodes to have a registration with a registration grid contained in the grid architecture denoting what type of message each node of the plurality of nodes is interested in recieving;
• wherein the message grid has a data grid architecture comprising nodes;
• wherein the message grid makes copies of the message available in nodes of the data grid architecture located proximally to each of the plurality of recipient nodes;
• specifying to the registration grid a type of message that each recipient node in the plurality of recipient nodes is to receive;
• storing in a message grid, the message generated by the source node, the message being uniquely identified by an identifier and a message-type in the message grid;
• sending the identifier of the message to each of the plurality of recipient nodes registered with the registration grid to receive the type of message associated with the identifier;
• enabling retrieval of a message by recipient nodes in the plurality of recipient nodes to retrieve a message generated by a source node;
• wherein the retrieving retrieves the message from the node in the message grid located proximally to the recipient node retrieving the message;
• and
• retrieving by each of the plurality of recipient nodes that received the identifier, the message associated with the identifier from the message grid using the identifier.

A system for transferring messages between nodes connected by a grid architecture, the system comprising:

• a plurality of recipient nodes;
• a message grid to store messages;
• wherein the message grid has a data grid architecture comprising nodes;
• a source node to generate and store a message in the message grid;
• wherein the message grid makes copies of the message available to nodes of the data grid architecture located proximally to each of the plurality of recipient nodes;
• a registration grid to store a type of message that a recipient node is to receive;
• and
• a message manager node,
• wherein the message manager node receives an identifier and a message-type of a message stored in the registration grid by a source node, and sends the identifier of the message to recipient nodes identified in the registration grid to receive the type of message in the data grid formed by the plurality of recipient nodes,
• wherein a recipient node in the plurality of recipient nodes identified in the registration grid to receive the type of message retrieves the message from the message grid using the identifier;
• wherein the retrieving retrieves the message from the node in the message grid located proximally to the recipient node retrieving the message;
• and
• upon retrieving the message from the message by a particular node of the plurality of recipient nodes, deleting in the registration grid the registration of the particular node to receive the type of message.
