This may be a bit off topic, but the usage example in Signal/ Collect project reminds me of another topic concerning parallel and concurrent computing.
Currently Hama exploits Java thread in accelerating performance. And risks are raised when programming with threads regarding to thread safety; therefore there are many solutions trying to address the concurrency issue. For example, Erlang takes actor model. Others make use of design pattern so concurrency can be achieved easier. I think since Hama uses Java. Therefore, I am just interested in knowing how developers in this community think of such issue? For instance, adapting active object pattern so that the future development may somehow be more productive. 2011/1/15 Varun Gupta <[email protected]>: > http://www.ifi.uzh.ch/ddis/research/sc > > I Remain, > Varun Gupta >
