MapReduce Patterns, Algorithms, and Use Cases

Here are a couple of other good resources on MapReduce:

A tutorial talk by some Googlers at Sigmetrics 09: http://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrust...

Also, a paper on using MapReduce for data-processing on large clusters: http://www.usenix.org/event/osdi04/tech/full_papers/dean/dea...

I found this book to be quite good: http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~jimmylin/book.html

Here's the pdf of it: http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~jimmylin/MapReduce-book-final.pdf

Top notch one of the best collections of MR++ usecases.

I tried to understand this pattern some years ago, but couldn't find good examples. Those are invaluable to me.
