This document contains discussions / plans about moving computation towards data.
Introduction
Moving computer closer to data is a well-known paradigm in the realm of Big Data. Suppose A is the site where data is hosted and B the site were computer / processing programs are hosted, transferring data from A to B for processing and processed data or metadata back from B to A will be a time consuming task as the amount of data increases. So, instead moving data around, a better approach is to move computer or the processing programs towards data. This is based on the assumption that generally executables or source code will use much lesser disk space when compared with data.
