Hi, I am new to hadoop. What I have understood so far is- hadoop is used to process huge data using map-reduce paradigm.
I am working on problem where I need to perform large number of computations, most computations can be done independently of each other (so I think each mapper can handle one or more such computations). However there is no data involved. Its just number crunching job. Is it suited for Hadoop ? Has anyone used hadoop for merely number crunching? If yes, how should I define input for the job and ensure that computations are distributed to all nodes in the grid? Thanks, Tenaali
