Distributed Computing and MapReduce

varun — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 16:18:13 +0000

Today I conducted a session on Distributed Computing. It mainly focussed on MapReduce and its open source implementation-Hadoop.

The session first covered a brief idea of why we need to have distributed computing since everything is driven by need.Then It covered how a distributed file system works.It focussed on the Google File System.A demonstartion of how Hadoop works on a single node enviornment where a example very similar to the wordcount example was show. It was an election simulation where the input was the votes cast and the Hadoop Job aggregated the results.After this some finer details about Hadoop was covered which was the last topic in the session.

Some resources that are very helpful:

How to access Linux Partition through Windows

Shubhendra — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 01:56:44 +0000

Hi Friends, i said on first meeting (10 Nov, 2007) that you can’t access Linux Partition through Windows but one of my friend Ameet Kaustav ( Black ) corrected me. There is a software called “Ext2IFS_1_10c.exe” ,The Ext2 Installable File System software has been designed and implemented by Stephan Schreiber, just run on windows and you can access your Linux Partition. Get it from http://www.fs-driver.org/extendeddl.html and ya you can use it for Ext3 also.
