How to Reduce Aggregate Counts from Mapped Chunks in Python
Combine a list of mapped chunk dictionaries into a single aggregated count dictionary using functools.reduce.
from functools import reduce
from collections import defaultdict
def aggregate_chunks(mapped_chunks):
"""Combine mapped chunk counts into a single aggregate dict."""
return reduce(
lambda acc, chunk: {
**acc,
**{k: acc.get(k, 0) + v for k, v in chunk.items()}
},
…How to Implement MapReduce Word Count in Python Using a Dict
Simulate a MapReduce word count pipeline in Python with a mock dict, splitting text into words, shuffling, and reducing to frequency counts.
def map_reduce_word_count(text: str) -> dict:
"""Simulate a MapReduce pipeline to count word frequencies."""
# MAP phase: split into words and emit (word, 1) pairs
mapped = []
for word in text.lower().split():
# Clean word of punctuation
clean_word = ''.join(char for char in word if cha…Browse by section
