Edward J. Yoon commented on HAMA-460:
-------------------------------------

Just my note:

Why BSP?

Today, many practical large processing applications requires a good 
scalability, a high compatibility with existing data systems e.g., HDFS, HBase, 
and a communication capability which allows to exchange information using 
message-passing paradigm beyond MapReduce.

Here, Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model fills the bill nicely and besides, 
it has several main advantages over MPI:

 - Provides a simple and small API
 - Enables to perform better than MPI for communication-intensive applications
 - Guarantees impossibility of deadlocks or collisions in the communication 
mechanisms, and
 - The possibility to evaluate the computational cost of an algorithm
