Abstract
Some embodiments are directed to processing content units stored on a distributed computer system that comprises a plurality of independent nodes. The content units may be processed by determining which content units are stored on each node and identifying which content units warrant processing. Nodes may be selected to process the content units that warrant processing and instructions may be sent to these nodes to instruct them to process these content units.
