- The Hadoop Tutorial from Apache. A "Must-Do!"
- Hadoop Streaming, i.e. using Hadoop with Python, for example.
- A Yahoo Tutorial on Hadoop. Another "Must-Do!"
- An Hadoop-On-Eclipse tutorial. For Windows platform but works for Macs as well. Best way to setup Eclipse! You will need Eclipse 3.3.2 and Hadoop 0.19.1.
- The Hadoop-Book Web site.
- The Hadoop Wiki, the authoritative source on working with Hadoop. Many examples in Java and Python
- Hadoop at Google: A preconfigured single node instance available at Google.
- Writing the WordCount in Python
- Guide for setting up IBM's Eclipse Tools for Hadoop (go to bottom of page)
- The IBM MapReduce Tools for Eclipse Plug-in is a robust plug-in that brings Hadoop support to the Eclipse platform. Features include server configuration, support for launching MapReduce jobs and browsing the distributed file system. This setup assumes that you are running Eclipse (version 3.3 or above) on your computer.
- Guide from Cornell for setting up Hadoop on a Mac.
- Configuring Eclipse for Hadoop A video from Cloudera on setting up Hadoop... not easy to follow...
- The source code for the examples that come with the Hadoop 0.19.1 distribution. Includes WordCount, WordCountAggregate, WordCountHistogram, PiEstimator, Join, and Grep, among others.
