title: What is the difference between MapR and Map Reduce?
body: <ol>
  <li>Is MapReduce the underlying algorithm for MapR or MapR FS? </li>
  <li>Are the two terms related at all? If yes, please throw some light on the relation.</li>
  <li>Is MapR related to Big Data?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Please be as detailed and as clear as possible in the answer.</p>
  
  <p>MapR FS - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapR_FS" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapR_FS</a>  .. MapR Converged Data Platform includes MapR streams + MapR JSON DB + Map R File System
  MapReduce - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce</a>
   MapR wiki page refers to Hadoop. MapReduce is sometimes referred to as Hadoop MapReduce and Hadoop is a popular Big Data framework. Therefore, I think both are related to Big Data.</p>
