There is Disco[1], which is a MR framework written in Python and Erlang. It's open source and pretty awesome, and if I'm not mistaken it will leverage multi-core processors, no need for a cluster.
Speaking of Erlang, I've got my eye on Riak pipes. Now that the Basho folks have a large object store, I wonder if more in that department is a natural path.
