"This tutorial will get you started with Cloud9 on Amazon's EC2 (running the simple word count demo). For a gentler introduction to Hadoop, or if you don't feel like experimenting with EC2, try my tutorial on getting started in standalone mode. This tutorial assumes you've already downloaded the libraries and gotten it set up."

"Cloud9 is a MapReduce library for Hadoop designed to serve as both a teaching tool and to support research in data-intensive text processing. MapReduce is a programming model for expressing distributed computations on massive datasets and an execution framework for large-scale data processing on clusters of commodity servers. Hadoop provides an open-source implementation of the programming model. The library itself is available on github and distributed under the Apache License.

For additional details on MapReduce algorithm design, Data-Intensive Text Processing with MapReduce by Lin and Dyer is a good resource. This library also serves as a repository of many examples discussed in the book."

The 1000 Genomes Project, an international public-private consortium to build the most detailed map of human genetic variation to date, has completed three pilot projects and announced the deposition of the final resulting data in freely available public databases for use by the research community...n addition to distributing the results on the Project’s own web sites, the pilot data set is available via the Amazon Web services (AWS) computing cloud to enable anyone to access this unprecedentedly large data set, even if they do not have capacity to download it locally.
