At Cocoon we have a construct that we called pipelines. And frankly speaking I am currently missing something similar in hadoop.
It would be so great if the API was to allow thing like this
M -> M -> R
M -> R -> R
M --> R
\-> R
M --> R
M -/
Of course supporting also multiple inputs and outputs.
The current hadoop processing model feels so overly restrictive too me.
But it could just be me not knowing better.
Any comments?
cheers
