5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for new API
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2015
Verified Purchase
I have around 14 years of java experience and this was my first book ever on Hadoop. So far I have been reading from internet. I agree that at times it's hard to understand things in one shot but once you re read them, they get clear. The best thing about this book is that it covers everything in new API. I believe Tom White worked really hard to make the overall picture easy enough to understand.

I would suggest one thing while reading this book, please have the computer and some IDE open while reading it otherwise you will get lost in theory (which is great nonetheless) and when you actually try to code later, things will go off the top of your head.

Another thing is that, there are various things which you'll understand only after reaching at 4th or 5th chapter. If you are learning Hadoop (from scratch) and you have read its first few chapters only, you may find it difficult but once you reach at 4th or 5th chapters then I'm sure you will find this book amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice update for an already great book
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2015
Verified Purchase
Nice update for an already great book. As other reviews have already mentioned, if you're new to Hadoop, you'll probably need to read a few chapters in order to really get a good picture of what Hadoop is, and how it works. This is not necessarily a problem with the book, but just the nature of the beast when learning as complex as Hadoop. If you're new to Hadoop, take the time to work through the first few chapters, and maybe expect to come back and re-read parts later. If you're an experienced engineer who is looking to get up-to-speed with what has changed in recent versions, you'll definitely find what you're looking for here.

I appreciate that this book covers high-level concepts as well as dives deep into the technical details that you will need to know for the design, implementation and day-to-day running of Hadoop and its various associated technologies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Large Data Computing Challenge in one Comprehensive Large Gulp
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
Very comprehensive and well developed book that is a great introduction to large data management. If you want to enter this field of computing, this is the reference to get. It covers all the important bases in only 700 pages.

There is a catch here, the cost of the hardware is prohibitive and can easily exceed $70,000. So, companies that are using large distributed systems that operate using Hadoop are generally closed shops and Catch 22 applies. You will have to build or borrow a small Hadoop system and learn your way around it to be able to demonstrate your expertise to get hired in a company that uses this.

However, this book can ease your way into Hadoop computing and I highly recommend it.

Very full treatment of Hadoop but NOT a simple read so don't buy this if you want a beginners guide. I have enough test hardware and expertise to set up a couple virtual stacks and used this book to then setup a Hadoop cluster and various web interfaces.
Within this limit a very good book.

Best on the market to make you "understand the concept"

If you are an old folk like me with technology like Oracle / SQL server / VMware etc... it's a cerebral shock

How could I had been so ignorant for so long?

The way up is hard but I bought a System 76 laptop with full of goodies

I intend to build a 10 Hadoop clusters (need to kick my butt a bit) . Oh yes since I read the book, it is called YARN now...

Enjoy the book

3.0 out of 5 stars Can be difficult to read in some areas
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2015
Verified Purchase
I've been a Java developer for about 20 years... And in code development for 25+ years. Don't get me wrong with the 3 stars, this is a good general book on the subject. I was considering giving it more stars... just be warned that the book expects you to already have a solid understanding on certain topics. Hadoop seems to be very parameter driven, and this book drives thru those parameters. For me, it was hard to take in all the information without multiple re-reads.

Working in the big data domain, especially in the open source area requires that one has the required and correct technical knowledge to be able to analyze and solve problems as they arise. I find this book quite covering with respect to these aspects. I am not finished with it yet but I can strongly recommend it to anyone interested to dig deep into the Hadoop ecosystem.
