Abstract: A method for distributed data processing includes selecting a first number of candidate key-value pairs from input key-value pairs stored in a distributed file system and identifying an invocation frequency for each of the first number of candidate key-value pairs in a predetermined period of time. The invocation frequency is a number of times the corresponding candidate key-value pair was called by a service system in the predetermined period of time. The method further includes selecting a second number of hot key-value pairs from the candidate key-value pairs based on the invocation frequencies of the candidate key-value pairs, mapping the second number of hot key-value pairs to intermediate key-value pairs, and reducing the intermediate key-value pairs to resultant key-value pairs to be called by the service system.
