Limitations of Map Reduce Libraries

Here are some of the limitations of using Map Reduce Libraries.

  • We cannot refer attributes with names directly.

  • Functions are scattered and lack consistency.

  • Readability and maintainability are addressed using libraries such as Pandas.

  • Libraries such as PySpark takes care of scalability.

Note

We use the approach of loops or itertools as part of mobile or web application development. For Data Engineering applications we prefer Pandas or PySpark.
