A post at the New York Times talks about the Map/Reduce toolkit, and how they’re using it with Hadoop to analyze some of their website log statistics. They’ve got some brief code examples showing it in use, and links to where you can download the toolkit for yourself.
We’re making this toolkit available as an open-source project. If you’re already using Hadoop, the toolkit provides a quick and easy way to do small and medium-size projects. If not, the toolkit comes with a way to run the map/reduce programs without Hadoop. It’s very easy to download and install a single-machine version of Hadoop and start experimenting with it. The MRToolkit applications you write can run without modifications in the stand alone environment, on the single-machine Hadoop, or on an actual Hadoop cluster of any size.
