Pro Hadoop
Dear Reader,
Pro Hadoop is a guide to using Hadoop Core, a wonderful tool that allows you
to use ordinary hardware to solve extraordinary problems. In the course of my
work, I have needed to build applications that would not fit on a single afford-
able machine, creating custom scaling and distribution tools in the process.
With the advent of Hadoop and MapReduce, I have been able to focus on my
applications instead of worrying about how to scale them.
It took some time before I had learned enough about Hadoop Core to actu-
ally be effective. This book is a distillation of that knowledge, and a book I wish
was available to me when I first started using Hadoop Core.
I begin by showing you how to get started with Hadoop and the Hadoop
Core shared file system, HDFS. Then you will see how to write and run func-
tional and effective MapReduce jobs on your clusters, as well as how to tune
your jobs and clusters for optimum performance. I provide recipes for unit test-
ing and details on how to debug MapReduce jobs. I also include examples of
using advanced features such as map-side joins and chain mapping. To bring
everything together, I take you through the step-by-step development of a
nontrivial MapReduce application. This will give you insight into a real-world
Hadoop project.
It is my sincere hope that this book provides you an enjoyable learning expe-
rience and with the knowledge you need to be the local Hadoop Core wizard.
