Yes. The actual paper ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=562324 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=562324 ) compares MapReduce to parallel relational database management systems, not "SQL".
Also, if this gets more points than the earlier link to the paper itself I will be sad.
EDIT: sadness.
- wmf 18y agoAlso, if this gets more points than the earlier link to the paper itself I will be sad. It's all in the headline. If the paper was titled "Researchers confirm it: MapReduce doesn't scale" (and it if wasn't a PDF) it would have a much higher score.
