Abstract
An apparatus includes a processor to: receive a request from a remote device to perform a job flow; retrieve a job flow definition defining the job flow and each of a set of task routines to perform tasks of the job flow from a set of storage devices where each is stored as an undivided object within one storage device; and in response to determining that a data set is stored as multiple data object blocks, generate a container containing the job flow definition and set of task routines to enable each storage device to perform the job flow using a locally stored data object block of the data set as input to generate a corresponding data object block of a result report, provide a copy of the container to each storage device, and transmit the result report assembled from the data object blocks thereof to the remote device.
