I'm developing a very simple app to codify a big input file. I have the restriction that the input file must be splitted up into chunks and processed by different clients. After that the chunks should be joined and the result should be the same big input file but codified.

I know that one possibility to do this could be creating a work generator program that splits the file into smaller input files and creates different work-units for each small chunk.

Do you know another way to do this? Is there any configuration file or setting to provide this functionality?

Thanks in advance!
