MapReduce, a discussion with Shu

[Kyle Oba]

New OUDL Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/dynamic/events/69285422/

Thursday, Sept. 6 @ 7pm, @ The Box Jelly

Come to a discussion of MapReduce, with Shu Chen.

A short discussion of any topics from the WWW, such as the Y combinator or Mandelbrot set, may proceed MapReduce, if there is sufficient interest.

MapReduce is a programming model for processing large data sets, and the name of an implementation of the model by Google. MapReduce is typically used to do distributed computing on clusters of computers.

The model is inspired by the map and reduce functions commonly used in functional programming, although their purpose in the MapReduce framework is not the same as their original forms.

MapReduce libraries have been written in many programming languages. A popular free implementation is Apache Hadoop.

Here's Hello World in MapReduce, on Google's App Engine.

If you like Big Data, or parallel, distributed programming, or Hadoop, or technical jargon that's sure to beef up your startup elevator pitch... well, if you like any of those, except the last one, come on out!

Is there any chance of doing a Google Hangout On Air of this talk? I would love to attend but I'll be in Missouri on 9/6.

Mahalo,

Perhaps we can get a volunteer to stream this on UStream?  I know that some of the past talks have gone this way.

*nudge* Jason and James...

[Burt Lum]

Even better if it is on Ustream. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks,
Burt
