just throwing out an idea... but would it be possible/beneficial to wrap Map/Reduce resources using SCAs the other way round as well? for example, take an abstract service which performs some possibly intensive analytic computation. at smaller scales or development, the analytic components might be assembled into a simple web service running on a single container. at the the largest scales, the work may need to be farmed out to one of a number of clouds. perhaps an active management layer might be able to make decisions to route the processing to different possibly hetrogeneous resources based on data and meta-data (cloud load, time of day and so on) . for example, during local night these computations might be directed to a grid formed on general purpose PCs used during the day.
