I'm starting to learn some Hadoop / MapReduce, coming mainly from the PHP background, with a bit of Java and Python.
But it looks like most MapReduce implementations are in Java, Ruby, C ++, or Python.
I looked, and it looks like there are some Hadoop / MapReduce in PHP, but the overwhelming amount of literature seems to be devoted to these 4 languages.
Is there a good reason why PHP is a second-class language in cloud computing such as Hadoop / MapReduce? This is especially surprising given that outside the world of cloud computing, PHP seems to be its most common language, to the detriment of the 3rd higher (without C ++) languages.
If it's arbitrary - if PHP is as good at handling these operations as, say, Python, in which libraries / projects should I look?
