Exploring Hadoop with MapR

Recently Bonnie and I had a chance to meet with our colleague Dr. Allen Day. The three of us all worked together many years ago at Cold Spring Harbor Lab under Dr. Lincoln Stein. Allen now works for MapR helping organizations understand computing with Hadoop, an area where we are actively developing. Traditional high-performance computing with clusters has been and will long continue to be very important to our work, but Hadoop promises major advances for how we bring together our data and our computing.
