Many online data sets evolve over time as new entries are slowly added and existing entries are deleted or modified. Taking advantage of this, systems for incremental bulk data processing, such as Google's Percolator, can achieve efficient updates. To achieve this efficiency, however, these systems lose compatibility with the simple programming models offered by non-incremental systems, e.g., MapReduce, and more importantly, requires the programmer to implement application-specific dynamic algorithms, ultimately increasing algorithm and code complexity.
