Twister - Iterative mapreduce

[Tom Chikoore]

I find Twister very interesting. Our challenge in using Map-Reduce has
been its not fast enough for the type for computations that we want to
use it for. I am finding Twister promising, given this description
"Twister allows MapReduce to achieve higher performance, perform
faster data transfers, and reduce the time it takes to process vast
sets of data for data mining and machine learning applications.". More
info is here http://www.iterativemapreduce.org/ and I cant wait to try
it. Is anyone on this group using Twister and or had played around
with it?

Interesting. This has been a concern of mine. I'd love to hear more
about your setup And use. While the parallel processing power is
clear, the latencies feel prohibitive for apps that need to be fast.
