|
Hadoop in Practice collects nearly 100 Hadoop examples and presents them in a |
|
problem/solution format. Each technique addresses a specific task you'll face, |
|
like querying big data using Pig or writing a log file loader. You'll explore |
|
each problem step by step, learning both how to build and deploy that specific |
|
solution along with the thinking that went into its design. As you work |
|
through the tasks, you'll find yourself growing more comfortable with Hadoop |
|
and at home in the world of big data.</p> |

|
<p>First thing: This is not about how to deal with Hadoop in a real environment; |
|
this a cookbook of recipes for working with Hadoop, some of them that you |
|
won't ever use.</p> |
|
<p>Second: The book uses a structure of |
|
"Explanation/Problem/Solution/Discussion". While the formula usually works, |
|
here is simply to add more words, because "Problem" is tailored exclusively to |
|
pair with the "Explanation". Not only that but "Solution" is basically a |
|
rehearsal of the "Explanation". Something like "Hadoop comes with it's own |
|
class for dealing with X file format; Problem: You have files in the X format |
|
and want to process them in Hadoop; Solution: Use the classes in Hadoop". This |
|
basically throw the whole structure under a bus.</p> |
|
<p>Third: There is plenty of code examples, and most are terrible. I don't mean |
|
"The code doesn't compile" or "It doesn't follow any good practices". I mean |
|
it uses some cutesy arrows to point to some pieces of code, which means it's |
|
an image instead of a real code, which means you can't copy'n'paste if needed. |
|
Also, those arrows could be easily be converted to comments, except most |
|
comments would fall into the "i = i + 1; // increments i" category -- useless |
|
comments pointing to obvious things. If it would tell you <em>why</em> you're |
|
incrementing "i" instead of what it's doing, it would at least be interesting.</p> |
|
<p>There may be something useful there if you have a specific problem with |
|
Hadoop. But if you have a single, specific problem, you'd Google it instead of |
|
buying a book with a bunch of other solutions that doesn't affect you.</p> |
