Abstract: Distributed query processing is often performed by a set of nodes that apply MapReduce to a data set and materialize partial results to storage, which are then aggregated to produce the query result. However, this architecture requires a preconfigured set of database nodes; can only fulfill queries that utilize MapReduce processing; and may be slowed down by materializing partial results to storage. Instead, distributed query processing can be achieved by choosing a node for various portions of the query, and generating customized code for the node that only performs the query portion that is allocated to the node. The node executes the code to perform the query portion, and rather than materializing partial results to storage, streams intermediate query results to a next selected node in the distributed query. Nodes selection may be involve matching the details of the query portion with the characteristics and capabilities of the available nodes.

Abstract: Humans have collaborated in both small and large groups for thousands of years, sometimes achieving great feats for the good of all mankind. However, most groups have failed to achieve greatness, often because of poor group “chemistry” and/or because of missing skills or insights. These problems typically arise because group organizers build groups using human mental processes that suffer from social, racial, gender, ethnic, or other unconscious biases. To reduce impact of these biases and help organizers form more effective groups or teams, the present inventors have devised, among other things, an exemplary system that subdivides a group of user data structures into subgroups, based on similarities between electronic surveys and/or other data types, such as social media and network analysis data types. The system further includes user interfaces for creating surveys, implementing user preferences regarding subgroup membership and sizes, controlling the subdivision process, and displaying the subgroups.
