SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING CHANGING DATA

摘要

Systems and methods for data processing using incremental algorithms. Embodiments of the invention decompose complex or monolithic data processing problems into one or more incremental computations called flows. These flows may be distributed across a networked cluster of commodity computers, facilitating the easy scaling of the system and robust recovery functionality. Once a request is submitted to the system, its solution may be maintained from that point in time forward, such that whenever changes are made to a problem's data the solution is efficiently recomputed.
