I'd like to find out good and robust MapReduce framework, to be utilized from Scala.
To add to the answer on Hadoop: there are at least two Scala wrappers that make working with Hadoop more palatable.
Scala Map Reduce (SMR): http://scala-blogs.org/2008/09/scalable-language-and-scalable.html

There is also Scoobi framework, that has awesome expressiveness.
