ABSTRACT:
Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for processing a hierarchical data structure that includes a parent data set and first and second child data sets of the parent data set. The parent and first and second child data sets includes several data tuples. From the second child data set, the method identifies a first data tuple that is not in the first child data set and that is relevant for the processing of the data tuples within the first child data set. The method then assigns the first data tuple to the first child data set and then processes the first child data set based on the data tuples included in the first child data set and assigned to the first child data set. In some embodiments, the method also identifies, from the parent data set, a second data tuple that is not in the first child data set and that is relevant for the processing of the data tuples within the first child data set. The method assigns the identified second data tuple to the first child data set, and processes the first child data set based on this data tuple.
