05/24/2021, 6:17 AMa lot of the time that is processing a bunch of records, which a map/reduce can do if you are willing to write your script a certain way

05/24/2021, 6:19 AMthe big benefit of that being that the points you can use in a map/reduce script is usually more generous per record than what you would get in a scheduled script

05/24/2021, 7:03 AMThanks for adding clarification to the question @michoel,
Thanks @battk, but I'll come back again to question, Why has they kept it alive ?
People can write that anyway.
I want to know some cases where Map reduce will totally fail.
This can be when we are performing any large operation that cannot be divided in pieces. But I am trying hard to thing of such large operation.
