So... MapReduce? Kinda figured that when you had 6 zeros after your first zero.

This looks like a fun project, but I can't help but feel like Hadoop experience reports are a little late to the party at this point. Is there anyone out there who doesn't immediately think MapReduce when they see numbers at scale like this? If anything, the tool is overused, not neglected.




Its a well-written tutorial on using mapreduce to process a specific large music dataset. Now someone can jump right in and start writing their own processing code without worrying about all the boring details.

Maybe the headline is a bit misleading but I find the post interesting and valuable.


MapReduce wasn't my first thought, but that has more to do w/ my inexperience than anything else.

The cost though... that was shocking! It comes out to about $42/month to host the data and a $2 per analysis run. That's very affordable if you're producing results someone might want to pay for.
