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/Web Links
- The Hadoop Wiki, the authoritative source on working with Hadoop
- Hadoop at Google:
- 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
- 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.
- A video from Cloudera on setting up Hadoop... not easy to follow...
