    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media are provided for providing an application programming interface (“API”) for executing a query are provided. The API call, scheduling, and assignment processing engines may generate and schedule assignments, along with associated dataset portions, based on the query. Based on the assignments and datasets, the assignments may be scheduled for execution by processes of nodes in a distributed system. The API call and query may also include implementation instructions that require storing dataset portions into memory that is associated with a process executing the assignment for an in-memory database implementation. As the assignment is executed using a dataset portion that is stored on memory associated with a process, results may be stored in a file. Once each assignment has been executed and has a result file, the result files are merged to provide results of the query and API call to the user.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media are provided for tracking an advertisement based on the advertisement's context. The tracking, URL, HTTP header, and landing page engines may generate a single URL for both display and tracking of an advertised item, along with HTTP headers, based on an advertisement event. In response to a call of that generated URL and HTTP headers, landing page content that includes embedded middleware may be transmitted. The received URL and HTTP header may be parsed in order to extract parameters. Based on metadata associated with the extracted parameters, the URL and HTTP headers may also be augmented with additional parameters. The augmented URL and HTTP headers may be transmitted to a tracking service. As the user continues to interact with the landing page content, the embedded middleware may transmit additional URLs and HTTP headers to be augmented before transmission to the tracking service.
