The USPTO awarded search giant Google a software method patent that covers the principle of distributed MapReduce, a strategy for parallel processing that is used by the search giant. If Google chooses to aggressively enforce the patent, it could have significant implications for some open source software projects that use the technique, including the Apache Foundation's popular Hadoop software framework. "Map" and "reduce" are functional programming primitives that have been used in software development for decades. http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/01/googles-mapreduce-patent-what-does-it-mean-for-hadoop.ars

Why Hadoop Users Shouldn’t Fear Google’s New MapReduce Patent

Updated : Google, nearly six years since it first applied for it, has finally received a patent for its MapReduce parallel programming model . The question now is how this will affect the various products and projects that utilize MapReduce.
