More Google reliability woes

Google’s reliability issues are ever worse. As I previously pointed out, this is evidence against the notion that MapReduce is a replacement for established DBMS.

    All you seem to be citing here is one anecdotal report that Google Analytics was slow at some particular time. Unless there’s other evidence that you didn’t allude to here, I think it’s premature to attribute any problem to MapReduce.

    Dan,

    As per a prior post (linked above), there are LOTS of problems with Google Analytics.

    Now, it’s a big problem, and glitches are understandable. But it’s not ringing evidence for the theory that MapReduce is a substitute for a real data warehouse.

    What’s more, the point is probably moot. I’d guess strongly that MapReduce is being used to FEED a more conventional data warehouse.
