I have a implemented a MapReduce runtime library in C++ using Boost and would like to see if there is interest from you all to submit the library to Boost. I have preliminary documentation on my website at http://www.craighenderson.co.uk/mapreduce/
Interesting for sure. However, how is the execution back-end handled? What would I have to provide to create a custom job dispatcher? For example, I'd like to use the Vista ThreadPool as well as a custom one for this; is this possible? There is a policy for scheduling, so I guess the answer is yes, but I'd like to see what the requirements are. Otherwise, this seems to be an interesting library, and I think Boost should have such nice parallel programming utilities. Cheers, Anteru
