A memory sharing method and system in a distributed computing environment. The method includes placing a first operator and a second operator within a processing element. The first operator is associated with a first host and the second operator associated with a second and differing host of a distributed computing system. Requests for usage of global data with respect to multiple processes are received from the first operator and the second operator. The global data is stored within a specified segment of a shared memory module that includes shared memory space being shared by the first operator and the second operator. The multiple processes are executed and results are generated by the first operator and the second operator with respect to the global data.
