Practical Hadoop Ecosystem

Abstract

This book is a practical guide on using the Apache Hadoop projects including MapReduce, HDFS, Apache Hive, Apache HBase, Apache Kafka, Apache Mahout and Apache Solr. From setting up the environment to running sample applications each chapter is a practical tutorial on using a Apache Hadoop ecosystem project. While several books on Apache Hadoop are available, most are based on the main projects MapReduce and HDFS and none discusses the other Apache Hadoop ecosystem projects and how these all work together as a cohesive big data development platform.
