Description

@mrflip

From @kromerma reading first few chapters:

First chapters feedback

  • explain locality means disk head moving & also computer-computer moving
  • put in "numbers everyone should know"
  • move first section to end
  • expand on the "Hadoop is good at" list: unruly, huge, connected, dimensional
  • using the wikip data, show things db is good at & move to progressively less and less

    • dimensional: with lots of properties am effectively making table on fly
    • connected: flights -> airports -> geo -> weather stations -> weather // time
  • in "since there have been ten computers" part: Don't use phrase "talk to", say "Access data from"

After E&C Inc. save xmas:

Walk through carefully the geo-flavor example:

  • chimpanzee is labelling records to go to same place
  • ... turning one record into zero one or many (spam, solo, gift for me & sis)
  • (also, unstructured => structured)
  • practical example: market basket analysis
