Of course you wouldn't uppercase a string using RPC that's what you have map reduce for... split that string into chars send each node a single char to uppercase and combine the results you get back.
And they said programmers have a tendency to make things overly complicated...

- BrandonM 19y agoThis is a great insight, one that I can unequivocally agree with, and it led me to an insight of my own. Modern-day teachers have the cause-and-effect backwards. Instead of focusing on improving the quality of the programmers, they are focusing on developing a language which is impossible to use incorrectly, no matter how bad that language is. Java can certainly be seen as a step in this direction.
