review 1: This is the single best reference guide to Hadoop and related projects, and it's the only O'Reilly book I have read cover to cover.Here is the way I recommend reading it: Read through the first two chapters including the tutorial walk through with the weather examples, then jump ahead and read the introduction for each of the related projects Pig (chapter 11), Hive (12), HBase (13), Zookeeper (14), Sqoop (15). Then read the case studies in the last chapter. Then go back and read about Hadoop in detail. I read chapter 6 (How MapReduce Works) several times and found it very helpful in optimizing MR jobs.Very highly recommended. Be sure to get the latest edition, which is 2nd. I think a 3rd edition is coming out around summer.You are practically guaranteed a few million dolla... morers from a VC if you can write "big data" in the snow with your pee, so you might as well start learning about this stuff now.
review 2: Обяснява някои концепции на NoSQL, както и идеологията на Hadoop, като на места навлиза в детайли отвъд моите интереси. Ако я сравня с "Hadoop Pro", която въобще не ми беше полезна, тази трябва да има 5 звездички. Въпреки това има известни пропуски, примерно няма информация за Hive, а тази за HBase e ограничена. За целите на дипломната ми работа и първоначално запознаване с технологията, книгата е повече от достатъчна, а и още няма алтернатива. less
