Description

After we've introduced you to the tools, it's time to learn how to use them efficiently. Algorithms designed for running on MapReduce look a little different than those you've written before. We'll introduce you to some widely-used algorithms, common idioms to use when designing your own, and techniques for implementing these in Java MapReduce and scripting languages via HadoopStreaming.
