What a stupid article. "It's not quite that simple, of course".
So the distributed petabyte-scale filesystem that scales to thousands of nodes, the recent work on append which guarantees fresh writes will be visible to all hosts, the efforts at map-locality which will run your map function on the host where the data split is located, compression layers to improve I/O throughput..
Trivial?

- pgbovine 17y agoamen, the MapReduce paper is all about the distributed system they built around the core algorithm. this article would be akin to somebody 5 years ago saying "hey guys, it's easy to implement Google's search engine in 5 lines of R ... here's the calculation for PageRank, the rest is just detailz!"
