Chi: A Scalable and Programmable Control Plane for Distributed Stream Processing Systems

Summary: Chi embeds control-plane messages in stream data channels, enabling low-latency monitoring and dynamic reconfiguration. Its asynchronous reactive programming model avoids global synchronization and supports flexible SLO-driven control policies at scale. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
