I don&#x27;t agree with the last statement. Based on experience with Hadoop (over 5+ years now) running locally is a poor indicator of running on the cluster. Many sleepless night have been spent trying to figure out why the job that runs locally doesn&#x27;t want to run on Hadoop.<p>I do like cascading and scalding tho. Only so many times you want to implement job flow, filters and joins by hand in lifez
