Re: Could there be ThreadedMapReduce (and/or ForkedMapReduce) instead of DistributedMapReduce?

Unless something has really changed within Perl recently, ithreads won't do what you want here, as they are not OS threads. You'll still have one process on one processor.

So maybe I would need to use forks, and store part of the computation on the hard drive, in some temp directory?

That's ok by me, as long as the abstraction is hidden away and reduceForked( $functionBuilder, $arrayref, $initvalue ) always does what I mean.

I want this. Bad :)
