Field Guide to Hadoop: An Introduction to Hadoop, Its Ecosystem, and Aligned Technologies
IT Managers, developers, data analysts, system architects, and similar technical workers are now encountering the largest and most disruptive change in their profession since the ascendancy of the relational database in early 1980s. You hear that NoSQL and Big Data Analytics are about to replace the systems and skills you now own and possess, but there's often no easy way to make that transition.
To exacerbate the issue, the transition may not be gradual, but forced on you by a new project in your enterprise--namely, Hadoop--that will immediately require new ways of thinking, new tools, and new techniques.
This book helps you understand the components of the Hadoop ecosystem and how they relate to each other. You'll discover how to get started on that project in an efficient manner that lays out the possibilities. The authors suggest a path and resources that will guide you on their journey from the status quo to the Brave New World you face.

I think this book fits well to the purpose of introducing reader to all technologies and efforts around Hadoop. It provides basic background of each project, it's purpose and references to drill down further if the technology is interesting for the reader.

Overview and list of hadoop eco-system, and not much more. This could have been shorter, without the code examples which were not particularly useful in this context.

Useful introduction to the Hadoop ecosystem, providing a brief description of many tools and technologies used on top or in sync with this popular big data environment. Each technology review in this catalog-like book (and there are about 40) includes a description, a code example, a "main purpose" indication, license and Hadoop-integration level. The book won't help you learn any of these individual technologies but will provide you with a basic understanding of each of them as well as give you a general view of a very diverse and active ecosystem. So, if you are not specially interested in developing applications on top of Hadoop but feel you should know a little bit more of what it is about and what are the tools everyone is using nowadays, this is a good bet.

between 2 & 3 stars.
Short, and incomplete overview of many hadoop-related projects. It could be good for somebody complete not familiar with this topic.

Gave a nice overview of technologies related to Hadoop.
However, additional background/internals on the core concept would've been nice.

Serves as a good introduction to The Hadoop ecosystem. Certainly worth considering for people who've just started with big data analysis and want to get an overview of the associated technologies.
