    Mildly interesting, but doesn’t Google process over 20PB via MapReduce EACH DAY? Not to mention whatever goes through other pipes …

    I don’t think eBay is far behind Google on data processed per day.

    Processing 20 TB via MapReduce (batch-like) processing is impressive, but it’s apples and oranges compared to handling hundreds of millions of transactional queries 24×7 in a 1.4PB system
