Reviews

[Alan Martinez · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a very high level explanation of what Hadoop is but still a good book if you are looking to learn the concepts of big data

[Ron · Rating 3 out of 5]

High level overview of Hadoop if you don't already know something. I'd heard several presentations on Hadoop and didn't find out anything new in this book.
