A comparative analysis of iterative MapReduce systems
Minseo Kang, Jae-Gil Lee · 2016
Since the development of MapReduce, there have been several efforts to extend data mining and machine learning algorithms for MapReduce. Many of those algorithms are iterative by nature. In order to process them efficiently, Spark as well as research prototypes such as HaLoop, iMapReduce, and Twister are proposed with solutions to iterative computation. In this paper, we thoroughly examine the pros and cons of each system.
