When I was assigned to a new Hadoop project, I had just a week to pick up. I knew just the basics concepts of big data and map reduce. This book helped me get up to speed with the rest of the team wherein I was not merely following the conversations but leading some of the discussions as well. My team was impressed with how much I had picked up in such a short time but I have no option but to thank this book for covering almost everything that I needed to know to lead my project. The concepts and examples in the book are really good and I would recommend anyone starting with Hadoop to grab this book. Full Review  >

Hadoop is today a industry-standard software for the Big Data and this book it’s the industry-standard book for Hadoop. This book is able to bring you from no knowledge about Hadoop and the Big Data to a full knowledge of Hadoop and it’s usage. The book is split in 16 chapters and 3 appendix for a total of 628 pages of contents. This make ~33 pages for chapter so it’s easy to read and to find what you need. This is very important since – even if it’s possible – it’s rare that this kind of book is read cover-to-cover. Full Review  >
