Abstract
A method for shard assignment in a large-scale data processing job is provided. Datasets are divided into a plurality of shards and the shards are indexed and aggregated into one or more groups. A worker process is initially assigned an indexed shard from a group. The initial assignment can assigned based on a simple algorithm. The worker's subsequent shard assignment is based on the index of the initially assigned shard.
