"The Peregrine falcon is a bird of prey, famous for its high speed diving attacks, feeding primarily on much slower Hadoops. Wait, sorry, it is Kevin Burton of Spinn3r's new Peregrine project--a new FAST modern map reduce framework optimized for iterative and pipelined map reduce jobs--that feeds on Hadoops.
If you don't know Kevin, he does a lot of excellent technical work that he's kind enough to share it onhis blog. Only he hasn't been blogging much lately, he's been heads down working on Peregrine. Now that Peregrine has been released, here's a short email interview with Kevin on why you might want to take up falconry, the ancient sport of MapReduce."
BTW. K-means is on my Agenda as well.
