Map-Reduce (Using functional programming paradigm it can be explained as follows) 
Consists of two functions Map and Reduce 

Map - This will apply the function to each element of the list. 
Reduce - this will apply the function to the entire list as a whole. The reduce function is preferred to be associative and commutative.
