Jesse Anderson commented on BEAM-165: ------------------------------------- There is more MR than Spark out there. I think not having the possibility of MR now adds an ops requirement. That makes the potential customer have to put a Spark/Flink cluster in production before they can start using Beam. It will make the argument for moving to Beam more difficult. > Add a MapReduce runner > ---------------------- > > Key: BEAM-165 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-165 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Wish > Components: runner-ideas > Reporter: Jean-Baptiste Onofré > Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré > > I think a MapReduce runner could be a good addition to Beam. It would allow > users to smoothly "migrate" from MapReduce to Spark or Flink. > Of course, the MapReduce runner will run in batch mode (not stream). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
