In this project we explore ways to dynamically load balance actors in a streaming framework. This is used to address input data skew that might lead to stragglers. We continuously monitor actors' input queue lengths for load, and redistribute inputs among reducers using consistent hashing if we detect stragglers. To ensure consistent processing post-redistribution, we adopt an approach that uses input forwarding combined with a state merge step at the end of the processing. We show that this approach can greatly alleviate stragglers for skewed data.
