This short article illustrates how easy it is to leverage JVM-based frameworks using Scala. It focuses on the
GridGain framework (a powerful open source grid platform for the JVM) which, combined with Scala, provides an elegant solution for executing some functional stuff on a grid of nodes.
Let's do it in 3 basic steps:
- Scalafy a distributed version of the classical "Hello world !"
- Gridify a basic functional example: execute a function composition using GridGain
- Scalafy the Split/Reduce process and apply it to another simple "Hello World" example (a Scala translation of the Java example coming with the GridGain installation)
