  6. Traditional Approaches • Centralized computation (D-Streams, Storm, Summingbird)
 Stream all

    events to a centralized location for processing • Most general approach, however expensive
 Events must be buffered while devices are offline; power requirements for operating the antenna 4

    counters, registers, flags, maps • Strong Eventual Consistency (SEC)
 Objects that receive the same updates, regardless of order, will reach equivalent state 8
