feasibility of extending an existing cluster-based MapReduce framework, that
is, Hadoop, to support Desktop Grid environments. The second study aims at
designing a new MapReduce system that is tailored for Desktop Grids, using
the programmable BitDew data-management framework.
11.4 MOON: MapReduce on Opportunistic eNviron-
ments
MOON is a research effort aimed at extending cluster-based MapReduce
frameworks, for example, Hadoop, for institutional Desktop Grids where PCs
are connected by local area networks with relatively high bandwidth. Unlike
cluster environments, in Desktop Grids, the resources can freely come and
go without ...
