Hadoop Reaches 1.0
Hadoop reaches 1.0 and my understanding of how to use it is still in development.<p>Does anyone have a high level resource of how MapReduce works for mediocre programmers like myself that are late to the game?  I know she's not ready to have my babies, but surely I could get to know her a little, maybe just be friends?  I grabbed a Hadoop pre-made virtual machine the other month and was surely so far over my head that I had to run away to regroup.<p>In general I have some very unoptimized problems that MapReduce probably isn't the right shoe for, but I'd love to explain to my boss <i>why</i> it's the wrong shoe.  And learning about it might be a great start down that path.
