Hi! I don't know if it maybe useful, but I've just published a guide on setting up Hadoop on Ubuntu 8.04. Please check it out. This is the first time I publish any guides/tutorials or others on the Web so all feedback is appreciated.
As a last step of the guide, there is an small Eclipse Java Project that uses the Hadoop API to query some folder's files. http://b.camilogt.com/2008/09/02/hadoop-on-ubuntu-805.aspx Have a nice day, Camilo Gonzalez
