Abstract
A method and system for partitioning large objects for use by an application in a computing environment is described. The large object to be uploaded is analyzed in view of a desired partition size. The desired partition size may be selected by a customer system to generate a partition plan. The partition plan includes instructions identifying multiple partitions to be individually uploaded by respective execution modules. The system splits or partitions the original object into smaller, easier to manage partitions to be processed by the application running in the computing environment. The instructions defining the partitions are distributed to individual computing services for generating and uploading the partitions to the storage accessible by the application.
