Typo 'aa' in place of the word 'a': "However the next example describes aa more complex" should be: "However the next example describes a more complex" |

Printed | Page 31 source code paragraph, i.e., MedianStdDevCombiner#reduce(...) |
In source code (MedianStdDevCombiner#reduce) at 15th line: count.set(count.get() ...); To get correct 'outValue', that code will change like this: outValue.put(entry.getKey(), count.set(count.get() ...); Thanks. :) Note from the Author or Editor: |

I think the reducer output for one of the reducers should read "(group A, summary) (group C, summary)", since the partitioner should make sure that identical keys would all go to the same reducer, hence partition the key identifying group A to reducer 1, the key for group B to reducer 2, and so on (see also Page 27 (Chapter 1 > Map Reduce and Hadoop Refresher > partitioner) ).

Printed, PDF | Page 59 pseudocode, cleanup() |
In the cleanup() method, it states "for record in top sorted ten list" - the word 'ten' is in the wrong position. This text should read instead "for record in top ten sorted list" Note from the Author or Editor: |

Printed | Page 60 1st paragraph, 3rd line |
The original sentence : "These are the lowest K for this particular map task" But in the context (i.e. top ten pattern), 'lowest ' is errata. so, 'highest' is correct. I think :) Note from the Author or Editor: |

Printed | Page 71 Fourth bullet |
The fourth bullet states "The generating data pattern" is part of this chapter -- which was true once upon a time. It was moved to the Input/Output chapter when this chapter was created. This bullet should be removed. |

Printed | Page 164, 165 164p: last paragraph, 165p: source code 36 line |
At the paragraph that describe the 'Replicated join mapper code' "The map is used in the calls to map to enrich the output value with the user's reputation." should be "The map is used in the calls to map to enrich the output key with the user's reputation." i.e., change 'output value' to 'output key' also in 165 page's source code "outkey.set(value.get() + ... );" should be "outkey.set(key.toString() + ...);" Is it right? thanks.

"The main thing to focus on is the templated arguments when extending the InputFormat class" - class name here should be OutputFormat, not InputFormat. Note from the Author or Editor: |
