Abstract
General-purpose distributed data-parallel computing using high-level computing languages is described. Data parallel portions of a sequential program that is written by a developer in a high-level language are automatically translated into a distributed execution plan. A set of extensions to a sequential high-level computing language are provided to support distributed parallel computations and to facilitate generation and optimization of distributed execution plans. The extensions are fully integrated with the programming language, thereby enabling developers to write sequential language programs using known constructs while providing the ability to invoke the extensions to enable better generation and optimization of the execution plan for a distributed computing environment.
