- A Grid Based System for Data Mining Using MapReduce
- This paper discusses a Grid data mining system based on the MapReduce paradigm of computing. The MapReduce paradigm emphasizes system automation of fault tolerance and redundancy, while keeping the programming model for the user very simple. MapReduce is built closely on top of a distributed file system that allows efficient...
