The document provides an overview of the MapReduce programming model created by Dr. G. Sudha Sadasivam, which is designed for distributed processing of large data sets using batch-oriented processing. It describes the workflow of MapReduce, including the roles of map and reduce functions, task assignment, execution, and data distribution, along with an example illustrating a word count application. The framework aims to simplify the development of applications that handle multi-terabyte data sets on large clusters, ensuring reliability and fault tolerance.
