My friend Matt brought to my attention an article on why MapReduce is a step backward, written by David J. DeWitt and Michael Stonebraker.

It is sad to see that most people advocate a particular solution to every problem imaginable and then refuse to look at anything else from a neutral pov. I let you draw your own conclusions.
