Re: Fw: [linuxNUS] Internship offer

It seems to me a map/reduce implementation can solve your problem.

There are a few out there, but most are proprietary AFAIK, for good reason
cause google as patented it.

So that can be a good point of departure to solve your problem. Althought
depending on the flexibility required, it may take some time to write.
