How many GMM can MapReduce do? What about lattice quantum chronodynamics performance? MPI and Lustre exist for a reason: map reduce isn't great for all problems.

MR never claimed to be great for all problems. It main selling points was big-data and easy-of-use.

Sure, MPI might blow MR out of the water in term of number-crunching, but it is also way harder to use.
