It’s been a week, but I keep meaning to blog about this…
Last Thursday night Lucene and Nutch gave a lecture in my Internet Systems Research class.
He had a lot of very interesting stuff to talk about, especially conerning how to manage open source projects.
By far, though, the coolest things he talked about were Map/Reduce and GFS (Google File System), two technologies created at Google, which they’ve implemented in Nutch!
This is exciting because it means there will soon be a way to create grid-based systems with an open source platform.
