{{{#!wiki comment/dotted Attention people adding new entries. # Please include publishing date and version of Hadoop the book is relevant to. # Please write this in a neutral voice, not "this book will help you", as that implies that the ASF has opinions on the matter. Someone will just edit the claims out. # Please do not go overboard in exaggerating the outcome of reading a book, "readers of this book will become experts in advanced production-scale Hadoop MapReduce jobs". Such claims will be edited out. }}} |
Hadoop Books
These books are listed in order of publication, most recent first. The Apache Software Foundation does not endorse any specific book. The links to Amazon are affiliated with the specific author. That said, we also encourage you to support your local bookshops, by buying the book from any local outlet, especially independent ones.
Books in Print
Here are the books that are currently in print -in order of publishing-, along with the Hadoop version they were written against. One problem anyone writing a book will encounter is that Hadoop is a very fast-moving target, and that things can change fast. Usually this is for the better, when a book says "Hadoop can't" they really mean "the version of Hadoop we worked with couldn't", and that the situation may have improved since then. If you have any query about Hadoop, don't be afraid to ask on the relevant user mailing lists.
