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. CAM Dan,

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.

Unless there's other evidence that you didn't allude to here, I think it's premature to attribute any problem to MapReduce.
