<div><div><br></div><div>Currently, this is running under Hadoop setup on Cornell Redcloud and EC2 (10 nodes). Looking at the computation, it struck me this is a good Swift candidate. And since the performance numbers etc are already extracted for Hadoop, it might also be nice to have a comparison between Swift and Hadoop.</div>
<div><br></div><div>However, some reality check before diving in: has it been done before? Do we know how Swift fares against map-reduce? Are they even comparable? I have faced this question twice here: Why use Swift when you have Hadoop?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I could see Hadoop needs quite a bit of setup effort before getting it to run. Could we quantify usability and compare the two?</div><div><br></div><div>Any ideas and inputs are welcome.</div><div><br>
