Cheetah: A High Performance, Custom Data Warehouse on Top of MapReduce
Large-scale data analysis has become increasingly impor tant for many enterprises. Recently, a new distributed com- puting paradigm, called MapReduce, and its open source implementation Hadoop, has been widely adopted due to its impressive scalability and flexibility to handle structured as well as unstructured data. In this paper, we describe our data warehouse system, called Cheetah, built on top of MapReduce.
Given the title and the paragraph above, what does mean "on top of"?
Thank you
