Hadoop Reaches 1.0
Hadoop reaches 1.0 and my understanding of how to use it is still in development.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.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 why it's the wrong shoe.  And learning about it might be a great start down that path.
