Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for identifying hierarchically related files stored in a database. According to one embodiment, this can be accomplished using a pipeline of worker applications which each use a specific table stored in the databaseand a sequence or series of queues. Generally speaking, each worker application can read a message identifying tasks to be performed from one queue in the sequence of queues, perform those tasks using the appropriate table from the database to identify a set of files, and write one or more messages to a subsequent queue in the sequence or series of queues to pass results and/or further tasks to be performed to a subsequent worker application in the pipeline of worker applications.
