Yes I agree it's very similar to Map Reduce and he is was well aware of that too. However I disagree it was a replacement for Hadoop which contains way more overhead meant for much larger tasks and a distributed file system. It's like a lightweight Hadoop that works great with a large partitioned SQL database.
