For today's class, we will be reading two papers:

• David DeWitt, Shahram Ghandeharizadeh, Donovan Schcheider, Allan Bricker, Hui-i Hsiao, and Rick Rasmussen The Gamma Database Machine Project. TKDE 2(1), March 1990. 44-62. May require being on the UBC VPN We are reading this paper because it is both an interesting concept by itself and also provides a good contrast to No SQL. You can skip sections 5 and 6.
• J. Dean et al. MapReduce: simplified data processing on large clusters OSDI 2004. We are reading this paper because it's a good description of Map Reduce.

Successfully reading this paper requires no special strategies.
