Class Material
- The University of Washington ran an upper-division course on Distributed Computing with MapReduce in Spring 2007. Below you'll find the materials that were used for the class: five lectures in powerpoint format, as well as four lab exercises designed which were completed by students over the duration of the course, using a cluster running Hadoop.
Software
- Setting up a Hadoop cluster can be an all day job. However, if you want to experiment with the platform right now, [Google] has created a virtual machine image with a preconfigured single node instance of Hadoop
