Abstract

The invention relates to electronic indexing, and more particularly, to the parallelization of indexing. Systems and methods of the invention index data archives by breaking a job into work items and sending the work items to multiple processors that can each determine whether to index data associated with the work item or to create a new work item and have a different processor index the data. This gives the system an internal load-balancing that results in indexing jobs during which no processor stands idle while another processor indexes data of unexpected complexity.
