I was wondering if you are planning on exposing any mapreduce functionality in App Engine. I've been working a little with the Amazon Hadoop setup and it seems pretty good. However, there is room for improvement in these areas I think:
- Pricing: if your job uses 4 machines for 10 minutes, you get charged for 4 hours of Ec2 time - Python support: streaming in Hadoop works ok, but is a little hard to use when you need external python libraries - I/O flexibility: S3 is a great product but most web apps today are happier accessing some kind of enumerable data store. SimpleDB support is not really there for python, although you can use ruby to write reduce output to SimpleDB if you include the right extensions in your job --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
