Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for accessing worldwide comprising: sending a request for data to a worldwide name node; wherein the worldwide name node is communicatively coupled to worldwide data nodes; wherein a worldwide data hierarchy is layered over the worldwide name node and worldwide data nodes; wherein the worldwide data hierarchy classifies data distributed across the worldwide data nodes into categories according to the type of data stored on the worldwide data nodes; wherein the classification of the data into categories of the worldwide hierarchy is enabled to be unrelated to the underlying location of the data; wherein the worldwide data hierarchy further maps the data categorization to the location of the worldwide data nodes; and wherein worldwide data structure enable analysis of data distributed across the worldwide data nodes regardless of the location of the underlying data based on a requested to analyze a type of categorized data; sending from the worldwide name node to the worldwide data nodes the request for data according to the worldwide hierarchy; wherein each of the worldwide data nodes serves as an index for a cluster of data; processing at each of the worldwide data nodes the request for data according to the worldwide hierarchy; and returning the result to the world wide name node.
