I figure I will need some form of messaging to coordinate the jobs.
The problem however is that the jobs will initially generate large
amounts of data. This data is progressively "merged" and reduced.
I don't think sending messages is appropriate. At least not in
the initial stages. I will have to experiment.
Thanks for the suggestion,
