Data-Intensive Text Processing with MapReduce

This book focuses on the design of MapReduce algorithms, with an emphasis on common text processing algorithms in natural language processing, information retrieval, and machine learning.

Data-Intensive Text Processing with MapReduce PDF

Our world is being revolutionized by data-driven methods: access to large amounts of data has generated new information and opened up exciting new opportunities in business, science and computing applications. Processing the massive amount of data required for these advances requires large clusters, making distributed computing paradigms more crucial than ever. MapReduce is a programming model for expressing calculations spread across huge datasets and an execution framework for large-scale data processing on basic server clusters. The programming model provides an easy-to-understand abstraction for designing scalable algorithms, while the execution framework transparently handles many system-wide details, from planning to timing to fault tolerance.

This book focuses on the design of MapReduce algorithms, with an emphasis on common text processing algorithms in natural language processing, information retrieval, and machine learning. We introduce the notion of MapReduce design patterns, which represent general reusable solutions to common problems in a variety of problem domains. This book is not only intended to help the reader “think about MapReduce”, it also discusses the limitations of the programming model.
