Re: [PhillyOnRails] jruby + hadoop?

So granted, I'm still reading the map/reduce paper, but this sorta drove it home for me I think.  Thought I'd share it with those of us not subscribed to Labnotes already.

Granted, it's not hadoop, but it's website-type data without an RDMBS which put it in perspective pretty nicely.  I can sorta imagine this becoming the norm and RDBMS becoming more of a niche market.

Have you read the google paper (doesn't cover hadoop obviously, but a great intro to the concept, has a section at the end that has a few blurbs on what/how google is using it.)  It's very straightforward and written in plain English, not academe-ese.

To completely ignore your question and make a selfish comment of my
own:  I'd love to see some presentational material on how to really
use hadoop (or map reduce in general).

I've looked at it a couple of times and sorta get it, but I keep
failing to get a firm grasp on what problem spaces it's applicable to
and how.
