Changing Engines in Midstream: A Java Stream Computational Model for Big Data Processing

Summary: DistributableStream extends Java 8 Streams with federated, lazy execution across pluggable engines. Queries become pipelined stages that can switch engines midstream, exploiting locality, pricing, and resources while preserving query semantics. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
