By systematizing cloud resource management problems, it helps knowledgeable readers who are not subject matter experts in a topic but want to have an in-depth analysis. It provides a parallel programming model, MapReduce, to parallelize multidimensional analytical query processing. The text includes how to master the fundamental concepts and programming models and apply them successfully to reach objectives. The authors discuss how to maximize the value of existing scheduling algorithms from a theoretical point of view"-- ER -
