Distributed computation system for servicing queries using revisions maps

Abstract:

In general, the invention relates to a method for servicing query requests. The method includes determining, by a first query node and in response to a first query request, a user data sub-region and a target sub-region associated with the first query request. The further includes identifying a first input sub-region of the target sub-region using a data flow graph, identifying a second query node associated with the first input sub-region, and issuing a second query request to the second query node to obtain data associated with the first input sub-region. The method further includes receiving, in response to the second query request, a second query result from the second query node, generating a first query result for the target sub-region using at least the second query result, and providing the first query result to an entity associated with the issuance of the first query request.
