Page-Rank-Implementation

The goal of this programming assignment is to compute the PageRanks of an input set of hyperlinked Wikipedia documents using Hadoop MapReduce. The PageRank score of a web page serves as an indicator of the importance of the page. Many web search engines (e.g., Google) use PageRank scores in some form to rank user-submitted queries. The goals of this assignment are to:

1. Understand the PageRank algorithm and how it works in MapReduce.
2. Implement PageRank and execute it on a large corpus of data.
3. Examine the output from running PageRank on Simple English Wikipedia to measure the relative importance of pages in the corpus. To run your program on the full Simple English Wikipedia archive, you will need to run it on the dsba-hadoop cluster to which you have access.
