Assignee: DATABRICKS, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive a client request;
determine one or more executors to generate a response to the client request;
provide each of the one or more executors with an indication;
receive for each indication a response including an output of either a cloud output or an in-line output to generate a group of in-line outputs and a group of cloud outputs, wherein an in-line output represents a result having a size below a threshold value and a cloud output represents a result having a size above the threshold value;
determine whether the group of in-line outputs comprises all outputs; and
in response to the group of in-line outputs not comprising all the outputs for the client request:
convert the group of in-line outputs to a converted group of cloud outputs, wherein a cloud output from the converted group of cloud outputs is obtained by aggregating in-line outputs from the group of in-line outputs;
generate metadata for the converted group of cloud outputs and the group of cloud outputs; and
provide response to the client request including the metadata for the converted group of cloud outputs and the group of cloud outputs; and

a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
