"HTTP Map/Reduce: A scalable data processing framework for people with web clusters. ... Driven primarily by the needs of users of Google AppEngine? (http://appengine.google.com/) for a robust data processing system, HTTMR will hopefully be written in a general-enough way to work in many web clusters. Bringing HTTMR up in a new environment should require only implementing a few interfaces to the data storage system."
