First post

I plan on using this blog to aide those new to hadoop that wish to learn and master all things within the hadoop ecosystem.  Hopefully the information I publish and reference will be of some assistance to you as start your journey.

I started mine about 2 years ago and did reach my goal of CDH4 certification but the journey is not over yet.  I continue to learn and refine my skill daily as everything in this domain changes so quickly.

I find I have a lot of bookmarks and snippets I searched for and used while I tried to solve my problems in my setup.

So where do you start?  You have to ask yourself... do you want to download all the opensource components individually and build you own hadoop cluster from scratch? Or do you want to use an available vendor package like Cloudera, Pivotal HD or Hortonworks and get certificated on those.

This blog will focus on the Cloudera ecosystem as that is the one I choose to learn and the one I'm most familiar with.
