Chapter 9. Making Development Easier
In this chapter, we will look at how, depending on use cases and end goals, application development in Hadoop can be simplified using a number of abstractions and frameworks built on top of the Java APIs. In particular, we will learn about the following topics:
- How the streaming API allows us to write MapReduce jobs using dynamic languages such as Python and Ruby
- How frameworks such as Apache Crunch and Kite Morphlines allow us to express data transformation pipelines using higher-level abstractions
- How Kite Data, a promising framework developed by Cloudera, provides us with the ability to apply design patterns and boilerplate to ease integration and interoperability of different components within the Hadoop ecosystem ...
