Abstract
A method for handling files to timely provide reports concerning the files is disclosed. The method may include crawling (or enumerating) the files, to figure out how many files/data are to be processed and/or how much processing work is to be performed. The method may also include processing the files in batches. Identification information (e.g., filenames, file paths, and/or object identifiers) pertaining to the files may be sent to one or more queues for batch processing of the files. The method may further include generating a report after processing of a batch among the batches is completed. The report may be generated before subsequent processing of a subsequent batch is completed.
