Hadoop gets major supporter
It seems that Yahoo! is getting into the Map/Reduce wagon that Google made so famous. However Yahoo! is using the Apache version known as Hadoop. Seems their new Java based system is some 34% faster than their previous version. Very nice! While Yahoo! isn’t quite using the same amount of data, 300TB compressed is nothing to sneeze at.
What would be really interesting is say that Microsoft does end up buying Yahoo!. It is well known that Microsoft wants Yahoo! because of it’s search market. So would Microsoft stand to own a search engine that is based on an open source Java technology?
