Claim 8:
9. Enacted by a master in communication with a plurality of workers, a method of parsing data comprising a plurality of records, the method comprising:
receiving, from a worker of the plurality of workers, parsed information for a data chunk, wherein the parsed information comprises:
a first position describing a position of a first instance of a context-dependent symbol after an even number of instances of a context-varying symbol;
a second position describing a position of a first instance of the context-dependent symbol after an odd number of instances of the context-varying symbol; and
an indication of a parity of instances of the context-varying symbol in the data chunk;

determining a first location, the first location being a location of a first record delimiter in the data chunk, the determining the first location based on an indication of a cumulative parity of instances of a context-varying symbol corresponding to prior data chunks, the indication of the cumulative parity determined based on the indication of the parity in the received parsed information, wherein determining the first location comprises:
when the indication of the cumulative parity has a first value, determining that the first record delimiter corresponds to the first position,
when the cumulative parity has a second value, determining that the first record delimiter corresponds to the second position; and

storing the location of the first record delimiter.
