Scatter Gather Aggregate Pattern in Python

Simulates a scatter/gather/aggregate pattern by distributing work across items, gathering results, and aggregating them.

scatter-gather aggregation pattern
Python
import random

def process_items(items, scatter_fn, gather_fn, aggregate_fn):
    """Simple scatter/gather/aggregate pattern simulation."""
    scattered = [scatter_fn(item) for item in items]
    gathered = [gather_fn(item) for item in scattered]
    return aggregate_fn(gathered)
