job with 10k arguments

attached job is an invocation with lots of arguments (10k).  we can generalize
these kinds of jobs as "summarizers".

this occurs most likely because of the number of arguments limits in the shell
when a job is invoked by _swiftwrap.  A mapreduce-like approach to reduce the
data chunks-at-a-time would be a possible solution.
