SCOPE: Easy and Efficient Parallel Processing of Massive Data Sets

Summary: SCOPE is a declarative, extensible scripting language for data analysis on clusters, hiding parallelism from users. It provides SQL-like modeling with joins and aggregates, plus user-defined operators (extractors, processors, reducers, combiners), nesting, and stepwise plans compiled into parallel execution.
