Mastering Hadoop: Book Review

I came across a book Mastering Hadoop published by Packt and authored by Sandeep Karath. Here is my detail review about the book-

SUMMARY
This book is based on most popular massive parallel programming (MPP) framework "Hadoop" and its eco-system. This is an intermediate level book where author goes in depth on not only the principle subject but also on most of the supporting eco-systems like hive, pig, stream, etc. The book has 374 pages with 12 chapters, the ToC  itself is spanned across 7 pages!

This eco system is continuously evolving with large number of open source contributors. As shown in the above diagram. The following diagram gives high level overview of hadoop ecosystem.

Figure 1: Hadoop Ecosystem

The Hadoop ecosystem is logically divided into five layers which are self-explanatory. Some of the ecosystem components are explained below:

Data Storage is where the raw data will be residing at. There are multiple file systems sup…
