In this article I digested a number of MapReduce patterns and algorithms to give a systematic view of the different techniques that can be found on the web or scientific articles. Several practical case studies are also provided. All descriptions and code snippets use the standard Hadoop’s MapReduce model with Mappers, Reduces, Combiners, Partitioners, and sorting.
In textbook portfolio management, we have a thorough and well researched business case that details the features, costs, and ROI we expect to achieve for each initiative. Even if this did describe how most businesses start IT projects (and it does not), it is futile. Business cases are easily co-opted, marginalized, and bypassed in the normal course of day-to-day business.
There is no shortage of information floating around today. There are a multitude of books, magazines, newspapers, blog posts, articles, videos and podcasts just clamoring for our attention. It’s an incredible thing, this wealth of information we have at our fingertips. Never before has so much knowledge been so easily accessible.

Smashing Magazine just launched their newly redesigned site. Personally, I think it looks pretty great. The ads are a little distracting perhaps, but other than that, the side content mostly gets out of the way leading to a pleasant reading experience. And of course, it’s responsive.
