Hi Prasen, Amazon Elastic MapReduce is a customized environment/platform for executing MapReduce similar to deploying/running a WAR file by dropping it in a J2EE container. So you create MapReduce jar file, upload it onto Elatic mapReduce, setup additional parameters and execute the job. No need to bring up Hadoop specific AMI instance directly as with EC2!
Elastic mapreduce currently provides 0.18.3 hadoop environment while you are free to use any version of Hadoop on EC2. --Sanjay Sharma -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of prasenjit mukherjee Sent: Monday, February 08, 2010 11:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: aws Not sure I understand. How is it different from using plain ec2 with hadoop-specific AMIs ?
