1. A method for managing a streaming environment of an operator graph by monitoring changes between states of information stored within a memory of a first processing element of a first compute node within the operator graph, the first processing element configured to process a set of tuples, the method comprising: monitoring the memory of the first processing element; identifying, based on the monitoring, a change in the information stored in the memory of the first processing element from a first state to a second state, the change in the information occurring in response to processing a particular tuple of the set of tuples; recording the change from the first state to the second state; determining whether the change from the first state to the second state has caused a threshold of changes between the states of the information to be reached; and performing, in response to the threshold being reached, a corrective action that modifies a configuration of the operator graph, wherein the corrective action includes resetting a state profile of the first processing element.
