Hey Delip- mapreduce doesn't really have any particular support for iterative algorithms. You just have to put a loop in the control program and set the output path from the previous iteration to be the input path in the next iteration. This at least lets you control whether you decide to keep around results of intermediate iterations or erase them... -Chris
