Ebook: Enterprise Data Workflows with Cascading

Despite its growing use in the enterprise, building applications for Hadoop is notoriously difficult. But there is a solution. This hands-on book introduces you to Cascading, the framework that enables you to build powerful data processing applications on Hadoop without having to spend months learning the intricacies of MapReduce.

Whether you're a developer, data scientist, or system/IT administrator, you'll quickly learn Cascading's streamlined approach to data processing, data filtering, and workflow optimization, using sample apps based on Java, Scala, and Clojure. Companies such as Etsy, Razorfish, TeleNav, and Twitter already use Cascading for mission-critical applications. This book shows you how this framework can help your organization extract meaningful information from large amounts of distributed data.
