Alfie Kohn's book, "The myth of the spoiled child", spends a lot of time pointing out that evidence behind claims like this are not only deficient of data, but are claims that seem to be made continuously throughout history of the latest generation of children.

I don't think that's accurate. They have a new "aggregation framework" coming that is meant to replace mapreduce. It could be a wrapper around hadoop, but I couldn't find anything documented about that. I completely agree that a blocking mapreduce is annoying, however, does any framework have a non-blocking mapreduce? I haven't tried many mapreduce implementations out, so this is a genuine question.
