Method and server cluster for MapReducing FLOW services and large documents

摘要

The present invention refers to a method for MapReducing the processing of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) document (1, the method comprising the following steps:a. mapping the EDI document (1) into a plurality of intermediate documents (10, 11);b. processing the intermediate documents (10, 11) to produce a plurality of intermediate results (20-23);c. reducing the plurality of intermediate results (20-23) to produce a plurality of reduced intermediate results (30, 31); andd. reducing the reduced intermediate results (30,31) to produce a final result (2) representing the processed EDI document (1);e. wherein steps a. and d. are performed by a master server (M1) of a server cluster and wherein steps b. and c. are performed by a plurality of slave servers (S1, S2) of the server cluster, each slave server (S1, S2) processing one or more intermediate documents (10, 11) and reducing one or more intermediate results (20-23)..
