Had been intending to read this book for a long time, finally got around to it. Had got this booked signed from Ted Dunning (Chief Application Architect - MapR) , who also authored this book. Was lucky to meet him in a MapR partner event

Back to the book

A quick read to get you a functional overview of the Hadoop Ecosystem and the emerging business use cases. Though a lot of examples in the book are MapR specific, Ted has also given quick overview of how to accomplish the same in a Non MapR distribution

I felt that, they could have added more real world and unique use cases . But maybe that was not the agenda of the book. A good read for a novice in Hadoop
