Mapreduce looks like it is designed for multiple steps in the process of
breaking up the problem on a tightly linked trusted server cluster. BOINC
is loosely linked, and the devices are not to be trusted. The end hosts
also cannot talk to each other as many are behind firewalls and will not
allow incoming connections.
It is also true that Google is claiming a patent on the algorithm. BOINC
needs to stay away from patented code if at all possible.
Mapreduce might work as a part of the splitter for a single project if the
data set makes sense for that. I do not see how it would work anywhere
else in BOINC.
Anyone have any other ideas?

[boinc_dev] Hadoop and BOINC

Hi everyone,
I've a question about integrating BOINC with Hadoop (Open
implementation of MapReduce framework). I've read a little bit about
BOINC and how it makes other prjoects particularly in fold...@home
area. I'm just wondering if Hadoop can be useful in term of
integration with BOINC. I'd appreciate it a lot if you have some ideas
or have some guides that I can understand this problem better.
Best regards
Ali Gholami
