IBM BigSheets to preserve fleeting Web data
,----[ Quote ]
| Boloker explained that BigSheets is a
| private cloud service running parallel
| MapReduce jobs on all of the library's
| machines. And while it's a private cloud
| (take note--private cloud spotted in the
| wild), the British Library will make the
| data and services available for people to
| access.

bashreduce: A Bare-Bones MapReduce
,----[ Quote ]
| In late 2004, Google surprised the world of computing with the release of the
| paper MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters. That paper
| ushered in a new model for data processing across clusters of machines that
| had the benefit of being simple to understand and incredibly flexible. Once
| you adopt a MapReduce way of thinking, dozens of previously difficult or
| long-running tasks suddenly start to seem approachableâif you have sufficient
| hardware.
|
| [...]
|
| In fact, the MapReduce model has proven so useful that the Apache Hadoop
| project (an Open Source implementation of the infrastructure described in the
| Google paper) has become very popular in the last few years. Yahoo, which
| employs numerous Hadoop committers, recently hosted their annual Hadoop
| Summit which attracted over 500 users and developers.
