MapReduce and Its Applications, Challenges, and Architecture: a Comprehensive Review and Directions for Future Research

Profound attention to MapReduce framework has been caught by many different areas. It is presently a practical model for data-intensive applications due to its simple interface of programming, high scalability, and ability to withstand the subjection to flaws. Also, it is capable of processing a high proportion of data in distributed computing environments (DCE). MapReduce, on numerous occasions, has proved to be applicable to a wide range of domains. However, despite the significance of the techniques, applications, and mechanisms of MapReduce, there is no comprehensive study at hand in this regard. Thus, this paper not only analyzes the MapReduce applications and implementations in general, but it also provides a discussion of the differences between varied implementations of MapReduce as well as some guidelines for planning future research.
