Abstract
A method for a distributed computing system managing vertically partitioned data includes receiving a query for a first row of data, where a first column of the first row of data is stored in a first data server and a second column of the first row of data is stored a second data server. The method translates the query for the first row of data into two queries, wherein a first translated query is for the first column of the first row of data and a second translated query is for the second column of the first row of data. The method sends the first translated query to the first data server and the second translated query to the second data server. Responsive to receiving the first column and the second column of the first row of data, the method sends the first column and the second column of the first row of data.
