Hadoop beginners [closed]

Question

I'm trying to practice some data mining algorithms using hadoop. Can I do this with HDFS alone, or do I need to use the sub-projects like hive/hbase/pig?

Answer 1

I've found a university site with some exercises and solutions for MapReduce that build only on Hadoop:

http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~jimmylin/Cloud9/docs/index.html

Additionally there are courses from Yahoo and Google:

http://developer.yahoo.com/hadoop/tutorial/

http://code.google.com/edu/parallel/index.html

All these courses work on plain Hadoop, to answer your question.

Answer 2

Start with plain mapreduce at beginner level. You can try Pig/Hive/Hbase at the next level.

You will not be able appreciate Pig/Hive/Hbase unless you struggle enough to use plain map reduce
