Abstract

A system may read an input file having an input file size and including a first record and a second record. The first and second record may each have a record length. The system may parse the input file into a first split file and a second split file, with the first split file including the first record and the second split file including the second record. The system may distribute the first split file to a first node to generate a first output file and the second split file to a second node to generate a second output file. Any number of additional split files may be distributed to generate any number output files. The system may combine the output files to generate a converted data file.
