For even bigger data you may use muds: "On the Complexity of Processing Massive, Unordered, Distributed Data", by Jon Feldman, S. Muthukrishnan, Anastasios Sidiropoulos, Cliff Stein, Zoya Svitkina: http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.CC/0611108
I've developed a skepticism towards arxiv.org. My understanding is that it's not high-quality so a paper that only appears of it is highly questionable.
