In one of our earlier posts we have mentioned that we use Scalding
(among others) for writing MR jobs. Scala/Scalding simplifies the
implementation of many MR patterns and makes it easy to implement quite
complex jobs like machine learning algorithms. Map Reduce is a mature
and widely used framework and it is a good choice for processing large
amounts of data – but not as great if you’d like to use it for fast
iterative algorithms/processing. This is a use case...[More]
