MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters

Anthony Baxter, Google engineer and Python release manager, will be discussing MapReduce, an abstraction developed by Google to process large amounts of raw data in a fraction of the time. The data is so large, it must be distributed across thousands of machines. Anthony will cover how it is used by Google engineers to perform simple computations while hiding the details of parallelization, data distribution, load balancing and fault tolerance for a range of products, from Local Search to Maps and many others.
