The computer industry is being challenged to develop methods and techniques for affordable data processing on large datasets at optimum response times. The technical challenges in dealing with the increasing demand to handle vast quantities of data is daunting and on the rise. One of the recent processing models with a more efficient and intuitive solution to rapidly process large amount of data in parallel is called MapReduce. It is a framework defining a template approach of programming to perform large-scale data computation on clusters of machines in a cloud computing environment. MapReduce provides automatic parallelization and distribution of computation based on several processors. It hides
the complexity of writing parallel and distributed programming code. This paper provides a comprehensive systematic review and analysis of large-scale dataset processing and dataset handling challenges and requirements in a cloud computing environment by using the MapReduce framework and its open-source implementation Hadoop. We defined requirements for MapReduce systems to perform large-scale data processing. We also proposed the MapReduce framework and one implementation of this framework on Amazon Web Services. At the end of the paper, we presented an experimentation of running MapReduce system in a cloud environment. This paper outlines one of the best techniques to process large datasets is MapReduce; it also can help developers to do parallel and distributed computation in a cloud environment.
