Abstract:

Our world is being revolutionized by data-driven methods: access to large 
amounts of data has generated new insights and opened exciting new 
opportunities in commerce, science, and computing applications. Processing 
the enormous quantities of data necessary for these advances requires large 
clusters, making distributed computing paradigms more crucial than ever. 
MapReduce is a programming model for expressing distributed computations 
on massive datasets and an execution framework for large-scale data 
processing on clusters of commodity servers. The programming model 
provides an easy-to-understand abstraction for designing scalable algorithms, 
while the execution framework transparently handles many system-level 
details, ranging from scheduling to synchronization to fault tolerance. This 
book focuses on MapReduce algorithm design, with an emphasis on text 
processing algorithms common in natural language processing, information 
retrieval, and machine learning. We introduce the notion of MapReduce 
design patterns, which represent general reusable solutions to commonly 
occurring problems across a variety of problem domains. This book not only 
intends to help the reader "think in MapReduce", but also discusses 
limitations of the programming model as well.
