This is a lot of information to take in and if you are new to Hadoop as I was I would recommend viewing an overview video or two online to become familiar with all the vocabulary before diving into this book. I got a LOT out of this book by tackling it in two passes; First, I read it all the way through but just glanced over the examples – understanding the use cases, but not getting all wrapped around the Java. It has easily been 10 years since I last developed anything in Java, so I postponed my personal syntax journey. In my second pass through the book I focused on working and understanding the examples. By reading first and then working the examples I found that I had more focus on understanding the details and concepts by reading with an uninterrupted flow. Following with a “working the examples” pass allowed me to review and reinforce concepts with example activities. I tackled this material using a “lecture then lab” approach that works well for me.
