Abstract

An approach to parallel access of data from a distributed filesystem provides parallel access to one or more named units (e.g., files) in the filesystem by creating multiple parallel data streams such that all the data of the desired units is partitioned over the multiple streams. In some examples, the multiple streams form multiple inputs to a parallel implementation of a computation system, such as a graph-based computation system, dataflow-based system, and/or a (e.g., relational) database system.
