This project contains a simple implementation of the MapReduce framework. In this case, generality is expressed with the use of consistent Map and Reduce actors that require plugins to achieve the desired function. These plugins must implement a PluginMap and PluginReduce interface to be successfully swapped into the application. The MasterActor communicates to the map and reduce actors which plugin type they should utilize during initialization. Each actor accepts input of the form (Key : Any, Value : Any), however it is the responsibility of the plugins to interpret the actual expected type.
