The work order frontend is further configured to transmit, to a global-level manager, a work order. The global-level manager is configured to access the work order. The global-level manager is further configured to partition the one or more input files into multiple shards, the work order into multiple jobs, each job being associated with one or more of the multiple shards and the executable file. The global-level manager is further configured to distribute the jobs among a plurality of clusters.
