A Map operation that transforms the input into an intermediate representation. 2. A Reduce function that recombines the intermediate representation into the final output. - * This processing model is ideal for the operations a search engine indexer like Nutch or Google needs to perform - like computing inlinks for URLs, or building inverted indexes - and it will [http://wiki.apache.org/nutch-data/attachments/Presentations/attachments/mapred.pdf "transform Nutch"] into a scalable, distributed search engine. + * This processing model is ideal for the operations a search engine indexer like Nutch or Google needs to perform - like computing inlinks for URLs, or building inverted indexes - and it will [http://wiki.apache.org/nutch-data/attachments/Presentations/attachments/mapred.pdf "transform Nutch"] into a scalable, distributed search engine.
