Abstract: Feed Processing. An example method of processing a feed stored in a storage device includes receiving an input feed. Each record of the feed is associated with one or more unique identifiers. A first unique identifier for each record of the input feed is then generated. Each record of the input feed and each record of the feed is grouped as changed or not changed based on the first unique identifier for each record of the input feed and a first unique identifier for each record of the feed. A second unique identifier for each record of the input feed grouped as changed is also generated. Each record of the input feed grouped as changed and each record of the feed grouped as changed are then regrouped based on the second unique identifier for each record of the input feed and a second unique identifier for each record of the feed. Further, the feed is updated based on the regrouping, whereby a user accessing a record from the storage device obtains updated version of the record.

Abstract: This patent discloses a computing platform to process structured data. The computer platform may include a component layer having a workflow engine to execute a workflow definition. The workflow engine may receive feed data from a user system. The workflow engine may send a business logic application and feed data to a distributed computation environment to batch process the feed data through the business logic application as part of executing the workflow definition.
