# [2020.11.19] Hadoop is Dead Today I taught the first lab session on distributed big data systems for first-year master students. They behaved as a team: those who were successful in registering their coupons for Google Cloud helped those who didn't do that for some reason. I was reluctant to do that myself since I answered all the questions about registration earlier, but some people didn't contact me at all. In general, the session went smooth, and there were plenty of questions, so I hope these guys got some taste of developing MapReduce job.
