Terrastore 0.8.0 Released, Featuring Map/Reduce
After a short break, Terrastore has published a new version, 0.8.0, which brings quite a few interesting features, plus some performance, scalability, and stability enhancements:
- map/reduce processing
- active event listeners
- adaptive ensemble scheduling
- document and communication compression
Sergio Bossa, Terrastore lead developer, has shared more about this release ☞ here:
Terrastore map/reduce implementation targets all documents, or just a subset of documents specified by range, belonging to a single bucket, and is based on three phases: mapper, combiner and reducer. The mapper phase is initiated by the node which received the map/reduce request, the originator node: it locates the target documents and the nodes that hold them, then sends the map function to those node so that it can be applied in parallel on each node; the map function will take each target document as input argument, and return, for each document, a map of
pairs as output. Then, each remote node runs the combiner phase, aggregating its local map results and returning a partial map of pairs. Finally, the originator node runs the reducer phase, aggregating all partial results.
