Yahoo! Moved to Hadoop for Production Search 1
Today a real validation for the Hadoop effort came in the form of Yahoo! announcing that their production search is now running on Hadoop. This should go a long way to allaying others’ concerns about Hadoop’s speed, stability or scalability. Cheers, Yahoo!: You’ve done some excellent work!
Hopefully M$ won’t get in there and tear it all down as part of a full scale IIS propaganda war against all things Y! 2.0… only time traveling robots know for sure.
