Matt,

(I'll finish this response this time!)

How often is this MapReduce query being run?  Is the execution of this
MapReduce query done in a controlled manner (for instance, not initiated by
users of your application)?

The actual use case of MapReduce queries are important in determining the
sensibility of using MapReduce.  A MapReduce query that has the potential
to be executed at an untested frequency can cause unintended load on the
cluster.  If the frequency of the MapReduce query is known, it can be
tested under production load to determine the overall affect it has on the
cluster.

You can also test this against your second suggestion, combining multiple
MapReduce queries with successive / concurrent GETs to determine which
method is more efficient in your situation.

Thanks,

John Caprice
