| On a very related note, we're announcing today that we implemented what we believe is the world's largest commercial application of Apache Hadoop. We are now using Hadoop to process the Webmap -- the application which produces the index from the billions of pages crawled by Yahoo! Search. |

Very interesting interview by Jeremy Zawadony of two of the Y! engineers (since Inktomi days) about the Y! search infrastructure on that second linked page.

1 Trillion links and the best Yahoo can return is: select top 10 *
from links
where id = newId() lol

Any time Yahoo tries to boast about how good it is, I go and do a search for some basic stuff -- disappointed yet again with nothing but crap. Hey Yahoo guys, you are in trouble either way. All by yourself you are useless and with Microsoft you are marrying another loser in the search business.

I think this would double the quality and split the Trillion in half though: select *
from links
where id not in(select id from links where link is not like '%.info%') .

Yes, Maybe they can now clear old Inktomi penalties that they seem lost on how to go about doing as well.
