| MinceR | they use both, don't they? :> | Sep 10 17:54 |
| Diablo-D3 | BigTable is a db impl that follows the mapreduce design pattern | Sep 10 17:55 |
| schestowitz | Oh | Sep 10 17:55 |
| schestowitz | Let me correct that | Sep 10 17:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | it uses GFS (the google filesystem) which also follows the mapreduce design pattern | Sep 10 17:55 |
| schestowitz | I was talking to someone when I typed it | Sep 10 17:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | many BigTable clones run on publically known mapreduce implementations | Sep 10 17:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | BigTable is also used with mapreduced programs. | Sep 10 17:56 |
| Diablo-D3 | and to do stuff on super-large clusters, you're often reproducing that design paradigm, knowingly or not | Sep 10 17:57 |
| Diablo-D3 | the idea is not particularly new (google kicked off the second golden age of the concept), nor is it the best idea | Sep 10 17:58 |
| schestowitz | "Links 10/9/2010: Linux 2.6.36, Google Caffeine Moves System Away From MapReduce, Onto BigTable" | Sep 10 17:58 |
| Diablo-D3 | schestowitz: thats still nonsensical | Sep 10 17:59 |
| Diablo-D3 | it just means they dumped the internal mapreduce impl and moved to doing it through bigtable | Sep 10 17:59 |
| schestowitz | How would you put it? | Sep 10 17:59 |
| Diablo-D3 | I wouldn't bother stating it at all. | Sep 10 17:59 |
| schestowitz | "Google Caffeine Moves System Further Onto BigTable" | Sep 10 18:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | yes, but it may have not used bigtable to begin with | Sep 10 18:00 |
| schestowitz | The Register put it wrong | Sep 10 18:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | although the article implies it does | Sep 10 18:00 |
| schestowitz | "According to Eisar Lipkovitz, a senior director of engineering at Google, Caffeine moves Google's back-end indexing system away from MapReduce and onto BigTable, the company's distributed database platform." | Sep 10 18:00 |
| schestowitz | El Reg | Sep 10 18:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | schestowitz: you know how I'd view this? | Sep 10 18:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | ever see oracle db wizards that have a gigantic SQL query, it takes a whole day to run, and somewhere nearby a printer prints the report? | Sep 10 18:01 |
| Diablo-D3 | thats all they've really done | Sep 10 18:01 |
| schestowitz | Never seen it, heard of it though | Sep 10 18:01 |
| Diablo-D3 | they've moved from a low level mapreduce system to a higher level more generic and better understood db | Sep 10 18:02 |
| Diablo-D3 | which, this particular bigtable impl just happens to be very mapreducey | Sep 10 18:02 |
| Diablo-D3 | obviously, this improves code design, it improves code reuse, and it improves code quality | Sep 10 18:02 |
| Diablo-D3 | and they recognize mapreduce is just one tool of many, and not a particularly powerful one outside of its very specific problem set | Sep 10 18:03 |
| Diablo-D3 | the headline I'd go with? "Google finally admits MapReduce is a buzzword" | Sep 10 18:03 |
| schestowitz | Sounds opinionated | Sep 10 18:09 |
