Show HN: 1M Song Dataset dev in 10 mins

I really think your website should be more indicative of what MD does. I had to look it up elsewhere. Regardless, very cool video.

I wish the site would write up an explanation, rather than providing a video. Could someone who watched summarize ?

Looks amazing, can't wait to get access to it.<p>I'm starting my thesis on music information retrieval, just studying the related work for now. If anybody has any suggestion on the directions I could follow would be really welcome.<p>My initial idea would be to focus on playlist generation taking into account user's history and usage. So far I've seen a lot of related work exploiting song similarity, some cool work on music mood and some on assisted playlist building. I'm also not ruling out recommendation or discovery.

How does your offering compare to AWS elsatsic MapReduce using Pig?

Very cool demo, this looks like an amazing tool (and I don't even know much about Hadoop!). One question -- it looks like you're skipping over the time it takes for the "illustrate" function to calculate your results. How long does it take for this million-song dataset?

+10 for the product, seems really nice. But I don't like the main site, it's not very informative<p>I'm doing something similar for my master thesis, a pig console embedded in js and also Cassandra support. I expect to release it in mid-January.

This looks pretty awesome. So is this just using Elastic Mapreduce on the backend? Can you use your existing AWS credentials for this with a Hawk surcharge on top? This looks like lots of fun to use. Can't wait.

FWIW, looks great. Took me a while to hit the maximize button on the videos...for a while I thought "man, they really didn't do a good job, I can't read any of the text"

Very cool tool. Can the tool be integrated with my existing Hadoop cluster or do I need to transfer all the data to MH?

Do I get any control over node types, or is "number of nodes" the only knob I can turn?

How is it different from SQL?
