Steve,
I'm a little lost here; Is this a replacement for M/R or is it some new
code that sits ontop of M/R that runs an iteration over some sort of
graph's vertexes? My quick scan of Google's article didn't seem to yeild
a distinction. Either way, I'd say for our data that a graph processing
lib for M/R would be interesting.

I have a colleague (paolo) who would be interested in adding a set of 
graph algorithms on top of the MR engine
