Agentic distributed query systems: architecture for complex multi-source enterprise queries
Original: # Agentic Systems for Big Query Handling in Distributed Environments: The Complete Engineering Guide
Short summary
A detailed engineering guide on building agentic distributed query systems that combine LLM reasoning with traditional distributed compute infrastructure. It covers query decomposition, parallel agent execution, federated data access, state management, and result synthesis. The architecture uses a plan-execute-synthesize model where an orchestrator agent decomposes complex natural-language queries into sub-tasks dispatched to specialist agents connected via MCP.
