Abstract
A first set of original records is processed by a first processing entity to generate a second set of records that includes the original records and one or more copies of each original record, each original record including one or more fields. The processing of each of at least some of the original records includes: generating at least one copy of the original record, and associating a first segment value with the original record and associating a second segment value with the copy. The method also includes partitioning the second set of records among a plurality of recipient processing entities based on the segment values associated with the records in the second set, and, at each recipient processing entity, performing an operation based on one or more data values of the records received at the recipient processing entity to generate results.
