Abstract
Techniques are described for managing aggregation of data in a distributed manner, such as for a particular client based on specified configuration information. The described techniques may include storing aggregated data values for an OLAP cube or other data structure in a distributed manner, such as in some situations in a distributed hash table. The aggregated data values to be stored may be generated in various manners, such as by performing multi-stage data manipulation operations—for example, a map-reduce architecture may be used, with a first stage involving the use of one or more specified map functions to be performed, and with at least a second stage involving the use of one or more specified reduce functions to be performed.
