I’ve been doing some experimenting with Google Cloud Dataflow recently. This has gotten me interested in systems in this area. Here are two good related papers.

I believe the first is the basis for Cloud Dataflow and Apache Beam.

What I love about both of these is the work to find new abstractions that completely simplify the user facing model.
