Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for data processing. For example, a method is proposed, the method comprising: obtaining an intermediate identifier of data to be processed in an intermediate system; converting, based on an identifier mapping between the intermediate system and a remote system, the intermediate identifier into a first identifier in the remote system; and processing, in association with the remote system, the data at least partially based on the first identifier. A corresponding device and computer program product are also disclosed.

Claims

1. A method of data processing, comprising:

obtaining an intermediate identifier of data to be processed in an intermediate system;

converting, based on an identifier mapping between the intermediate system and a remote system, the intermediate identifier into a first identifier in the remote system; and

processing, in association with the remote system, the data at least partially based on the first identifier.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein obtaining the intermediate identifier comprises:

receiving, from a client, a user request for operating the data at the remote system; and

extracting, from the user request, the intermediate identifier of the data.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein processing, in association with the remote system, the data comprises:

generating, based on the user request, a first request for the operating at the remote system, the first request including the first identifier; and

transmitting the first request to the remote system.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the operating includes reading the data, and processing, in association with the remote system, the data further comprises:

receiving the data from the remote system; and

transmitting the data to the client.

5. The method according to claim 3, wherein the remote system is a first remote system, and the operating includes updating the data at the first remote system, wherein processing, in association with the remote system, the data further comprises:

converting, based on an identifier mapping between the intermediate system and a second remote system, the intermediate identifier of the data into a second identifier of the data in the second remote system;

generating a second request for updating the data at the second remote system, the second request including the second identifier; and

transmitting the second request to the second remote system.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the updating comprises at least one of:

creating, deleting, and modifying.

7. The method according to claim 3, wherein generating the first request comprises:

generating the first request using a grammar different from that of the user request.

8. The method according to claim 3, wherein at least one of the user request and the first request includes a key associated with the data.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the remote system is a first remote system, and processing, in association with the remote system, the data comprises:

converting, based on an identifier mapping between the intermediate system and a third remote system, the intermediate identifier into a third identifier of the data in the third remote system, the third remote system being different from the first remote system;

obtaining the data from the third remote system using the third identifier, and

storing the data into the first remote system using the first identifier.

10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising:

deleting the data from the third remote system in response to at least one of;

determining that the data has been completely stored in the first remote system, and

all unprocessed requests for the data having been processed.

11. An electronic device, comprising:

at least one processing unit; and

at least one memory coupled to the at least one processing unit and storing machine-executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the at least one processing unit to be configured to;

obtain an intermediate identifier of data to be processed in an intermediate system;

convert, based on an identifier mapping between the intermediate system and a remote system, the intermediate identifier into a first identifier in the remote system; and

process, in association with the remote system, the data at least partially based on the first identifier

12. The device according to claim 11, wherein the at least one processing unit is configured to:

receive, from a client, a user request for operating the data at the remote system; and

extract, from the user request, the intermediate identifier of the data.

13. The device according to claim 12, wherein the at least one processing unit is configured to:

generate, based on the user request, a first request for the operating at the remote system, the first request including the first identifier, and

transmit the first request to the remote system.

14. The device according to claim 13, wherein the operating includes reading the data, and the at least one processing unit is configured to:

receive the data from the remote system; and

transmit the data to the client.

15. The device according to claim 13, wherein the remote system is a first remote system, and the operating includes updating the data at the first remote system, wherein the at least one processing unit is configured to:

convert, based on an identifier mapping between the intermediate system and a second remote system, the intermediate identifier of the data into a second identifier of the data in the second remote system;

generate a second request for updating the data at the second remote system, the second request including the second identifier; and

transmit the second request to the second remote system.

16. The device according to claim 15, wherein the updating comprises at least one of:

creating, deleting, and modifying.

17. The device according to claim 13, wherein the at least one processing unit is configured to:

generate the first request using a grammar different from that of the user request.

18. The device according to claim 13, wherein at least one of the user request and the first request includes a key associated with the data.

19. The device according to claim 11, wherein the remote system is a first remote system, and the at least one processing unit is configured to:

convert, based on an identifier mapping between the intermediate system and a third remote system, the intermediate identifier into a third identifier of the data in the third remote system, the third remote system being different from the first remote system;

obtain the data from the third remote system using the third identifier; and

store the data into the first remote system using the first identifier.

20. A computer program product for data processing, the computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with computer-executable code, the code configured to enable the execution of;

obtaining an intermediate identifier of data to be processed in an intermediate system;

converting, based on an identifier mapping between the intermediate system and a remote system, the intermediate identifier into a first identifier in the remote system; and

processing, in association with the remote system, the data at least partially based on the first identifier.
