Abstract
A system that facilitates data processing includes a receiver component that receives an SQL query. A partitioning component partitions the SQL query into multiple tasks and provides the tasks to multiple cluster nodes for processing. The system enables very large amounts of data (e.g., multiple terabytes) to be quickly prepared for analytical processing, such as for use in connection with a search engine, an advertisement provision system, etc.
