MongoDB: What's the point of using MapReduce without parallelism?
- by netvope
Quoting http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MapReduce#MapReduce-Parallelism
As of right now, MapReduce jobs on a
single mongod process are single
threaded
Without parallelism, what are the benefits of MapReduce compared to simpler or more traditional methods for queries and data aggregation?
To avoid confusion: the question is NOT "what are the benefits of document-oriented DB over traditional relational DB"
