1. A method implemented by a computerized machine learning system, said method comprising: receiving, at the computerized machine learning system, a plurality of examples, separable by feature into at least two classes, for distribution to a plurality of workers in a mapreduce process, each worker only receiving examples associated with a first class or a second class, wherein the first class is a positive class and the second class is a negative class, and wherein a worker is selected from the group consisting of a mapper and a reducer; determining whether each example is either associated with the first class or associated with the second class; distributing an example associated with the first class to a first worker of the plurality of workers in the machine learning system, the first worker receiving only examples associated with the first class; and distributing an example associated with the second class to a second worker of the plurality of workers in the machine learning system, the second worker receiving only examples associated with the second class.

The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining that a threshold number of examples from the plurality of examples has been distributed; and removing one or more workers from the plurality of workers, based on the determination.
