Large objects management in a parallel system

A method comprising:

• generating, with at least one processor from a plurality of processors, at least one large object (“LOB”);
• identifying, with the at least one processor, a multi-thread storage system;
• storing, with the least one processor, the LOB in the multi-thread storage system;
• generating, with the at least one processor, a unique identifier that indicates the location of the LOB in the multi-thread storage system;
• storing, with the at least one processor, a unique identifier, wherein the unique identifier is accessible by all units of parallelism;
• and
• receiving, with the at least one processor, a query, wherein each processor in the plurality of processors is configured to execute at least one unit of parallelism, wherein, in response to receipt of the query, retrieving, with a plurality of units of parallelism, the LOB from the multi-thread storage system, wherein at least on unit of parallelism of the plurality of units of parallelism is associated with a processor different from the other units of parallelism.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a plurality of instructions executable by a processor, the plurality of instructions comprising:

• instructions to generating, with at least one processor from a plurality of processors, at least one large object (“LOB”);
• instructions to identify a multi-thread storage system;
• instructions to store the LOB in the multi-thread storage system;
• instructions to generate a unique identifier that indicates the location of the LOB in the multi-thread storage system;
• instructions to store a unique identifier, wherein the unique identifier is accessible by all units of parallelism;
• and
• instructions to receive a query, wherein each processor in the plurality of processors is configured to execute at least one unit of parallelism, wherein, in response to receipt of the query, retrieving, with a plurality of units of parallelism, the LOB from the multi-thread storage system, wherein at least on unit of parallelism of the plurality of units of parallelism is associated with a processor different from the other units of parallelism.
