talk: My other computer is a datacentre

[Steve Loughran <st...@apache.org>]

Here's a presentation on datacentres and MR my colleague and I gave to 
the local university this week, "My other computer is a datacentre". 
MapReduce was demoed on a different dataset from normal (scanned 
bluetooth devices from a static location) and implemented in Erlang, 
because the students are learning functional languages and it is easier 
to show the concepts when you really do have a stateless runtime 
underneath. The overall theme though, is how you run things like this in 
real datacentres, which is why I have photos of some of the Yahoo! 
Hadoop team and one of their datacentres.
