Tomi, It's been a while since I looked at JavaSpaces, but from what I recall, it's really more of a technology/spec that enables persistence and messaging/communication between distributed java components, but it doesn't implement MapReduce nor the distributed FS like Hadoop does.

I just came across a technology which sounded interesting, but doesn't seem very wide spread called JavaSpaces. An implementation is Blitz (http://www.dancres.org/blitz/). From what I see, it seems to be a distributed computation and persistence engine so it made me wonder if anyone on this list would know anything about it and, maybe, compare the two technologies. Well? :) Cheers, t.n.a.
