Comment on Ask HN: Does (or why does) anyone use MapReduce anymore?parent

Comments

Shuffle is interesting, I gotta read up on that. Maybe I've been hearing reduce for too long and have too much of a built-in visual sense of it but...shuffle does not seem like the right name at all, then I picture randomizing some set N, where the input and output counts are the same.

Shuffle is an operation that converts "{k1, v1}, {k1, v2}, {k2, v3}" into "{k1, [v1, v2]}, {k2, [v3]}".
