Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows any paper discussing and comparing the mentioned topic. I am a little bit confused about the classification of hadoop.. Is it a /cluster/comp grid/ a mix of them? What is hadoop in relation with a cloud - probably just a technology that enables cloud services..
Can it be compared to cluster middleware like beowulf, oscar, condor, sector/sphere, hpcc, dryad, etc? Why not? Like I could read hadoop main field is text processing for problems that are embarrassingly parallel but I cannot define what would be the case for deciding to use other cluster technologies. Probably there are a lot of similarities between then, however any comparison would be helpful. It would be a big help to clarify in which field to classify all those technologies and what are they most suitable for... Thank you
