will adjourn to a yet-to-be-disclosed location for Yuletide Cheer.

Featured Presentation: Pratik Dave: "Map/Reduce"

On December 15 we look forward to Pratik Dave's first presentation at
Perl Seminar NY. Pratik has provided this description of his talk:

"Map/Reduce is a simple technique for performing calculations on
arbitrarily sized (read: enormous) data-sets by applying the
functional programming 'map' and 'reduce' primitives in parallel
across smaller and smaller subsets of the data. Created based on the
functionality discussed in a seminal paper on the topic published by
Google engineers (http://labs.google.com/papers/mapreduce.html),
an open source project named Apache Hadoop (http://hadoop.apache.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadoop) provides
the scaffolding to perform map-reduce calculations on your commodity
hardware."

"In this talk I'll introduce the map/reduce concept, work
through its application to algorithms you probably perform daily, and
demonstrate how to write a simple (yet powerful) Hadoop job using
Perl."
