Would anyone recommend a good book or online resource that specifically teaches the .20 API as opposed to the .19 API? It's several years old and I've really dropped the ball on this one.
As a followup...I'm mildly curious whether later versions (it's up to .23 I believe) offer substantial differences in the Java (nonstreaming) coding environment. Since the majority of my Hadoop heavy-lifting has used streaming, I've never really honed my Hadoop Java skills. I say "mildly" because I'll probably be using Cloudera's distribution which is .20, but I'm still curious how far behind my Hadoop skills are. As I've admitted here, I've never really made a push to jump the .19/.20 divide. I'm wondering if future chasms lie ahead as well. Thanks. ________________________________________________________________________________ Keith Wiley kwi...@keithwiley.com keithwiley.com music.keithwiley.com "What I primarily learned in grad school is how much I *don't* know.
