lua-mapreduce is a fast and easy MapReduce implementation for lua inspired by other ma-reduce implementation and particularly octopy in python.

It doesn't aim to meet all your distributed computing needs, but its simple approach is amendable to a large proportion of parallelizable tasks. If your code has a for-loop, there's a good chance that you can make it distributed with just a few small changes.

It uses following lua modules.

1. lausocket: tcp client-server connectivity
2. copas: Coroutine Oriented Portable Asynchronous Services for Lua
3. lualogging
4. serialize(included in this project)
