What Are Some Good MapReduce Implementations for Graphs?
In case you were wondering how some problems Hadoop and MapReduce are not best at solving, there’s a great Q&A on Quora.com:
MapReduce is good at distributed computing, but not for graph algorithms. Is there a general-use, highly-distributed open source graph framework? I’m especially interested in hearing about in-practice use cases, and how good/bad they were.
Ankur Dave’s answer is quite compehensive, listing 5 specialized solutions and 3 generic frameworks:
- Giraph
- GraphLab
- Phoebus
- Golden Orb
- Signal/Collect
- Spark
- Piccolo
- HaLoop
I was not aware of all these solutions, so more to read for me.
