I was looking around for a haskell solution for distributing a computation across multiple machines and couldn't find anything that looked current and alive. I found out that the Hadoop project (java based) can interact with binary executables via stdin and stdout. So I have set up a Hadoop cluster of 5 machines, wrapped my Haskell code to accept data via stdin and write results to stdout and successfully executed it on the cluster. I would prefer a more Haskell orientated solution and welcome any suggestions. If not maybe this will be of use to others. Regards brad
