HBase in Action has all the knowledge you need to design, build, and run applications using HBase. First, it introduces you to the fundamentals of distributed systems and large scale data handling. Then, you'll explore real-world applications and code samples with just enough theory to understand the practical techniques. You'll see how to build applications with HBase and take advantage of the MapReduce processing framework. And along the way you'll learn patterns and best practices. About the Technology HBase is a NoSQL storage system designed for fast, random access to large volumes of data. It runs on commodity hardware and scales smoothly from modest datasets to billions of rows and millions of columns. About the Book HBase in Action is an experience-driven guide that shows you how to design, build, and run applications using HBase. First, it introduces you to the fundamentals of handling big data. Then, you'll explore HBase with the help of real applications and code samples and with just enough theory to back up the practical techniques. You'll take advantage of the MapReduce processing framework and benefit from seeing HBase best practices in action. What's Inside When and how to use HBase Practical examples Design patterns for scalable data systems Deployment, integration, and design About the Reader Written for developers and architects familiar with data storage and processing. No prior knowledge of HBase, Hadoop, or MapReduce is required. About the Authors Nick Dimiduk is a Data Architect with experience in social media analytics, digital marketing, and GIS. Amandeep Khurana is a Solutions Architect focused on building HBase-driven solutions. Quotes Timely, practical ... explains in plain language how to use HBase. - From the Foreword by Michael Stack, Chair of the Apache HBase Project Management Committee A difficult topic lucidly explained. - John Griffin, coauthor of "Hibernate Search in Action" Amusing tongue-in-cheek style that doesn’t detract from the substance. - Charles Pyle, APS Healthcare Learn how to think the HBase way. - Gianluca Righetto, Menttis |

Hadoop in Action introduces the subject and teaches you how to write programs in the MapReduce style. It starts with a few easy examples and then moves quickly to show Hadoop use in more complex data analysis tasks. Included are best practices and design patterns of MapReduce programming. About the Technology Big data can be difficult to handle using traditional databases. Apache Hadoop is a NoSQL applications framework that runs on distributed clusters. This lets it scale to huge datasets. If you need analytic information from your data, Hadoop's the way to go. About the Book What's Inside Introduction to MapReduce Examples illustrating ideas in practice Hadoop's Streaming API Other related tools, like Pig and Hive About the Reader This book requires basic Java skills. Knowing basic statistical concepts can help with the more advanced examples. About the Author Chuck Lam is a Senior Engineer at RockYou! He has a PhD in pattern recognition from Stanford University. Quotes A guide for beginners, a source of insight for advanced users. - Philipp K. Janert, Principal Value, LLC A nice mix of the what, why, and how of Hadoop. - Paul Stusiak, Falcon Technologies Corp. Demystifies Hadoop. A great resource! - Rick Wagner, Acxiom Corp. Covers it all!

Hibernate Search in Action is a practical, example-oriented guide for Java developers with some background in Hibernate Core. As the first book to cover Hibernate Search, it guides you through every step to set up full text search functionality in your Java applications. The book also introduces core search techniques and reviews the relevant parts of Lucene, in particular the query capabilities. Hibernate Search in Action also provides a pragmatic, how-to exploration of more advanced topics such as Search clustering. For anyone using Hibernate or JBoss Seam, this book is the definitive guide on how to add or enhance search features in their applications. About the Technology Good search capability is one of the primary demands of a business application. Engines like Lucene provide a great starting point, but with complex applications it can be tricky to implement. It's tough to keep the index up to date, deal with the mismatch between the index structure and the domain model, handle querying conflicts, and so on. Hibernate Search is an enterprise search tool based on Hibernate Core and Apache Lucene. It provides full text search capabilities for Hibernate-based applications without the infrastructural code required by other search engines. With this free, open-source technology, you can quickly add high-powered search features in an intelligent, maintainable way. About the Book What's Inside About the Reader About the Author Emmanuel Bernard: After graduating from Supelec (French "Grande Ecole"), Emmanuel has spent a few years in the retail industry where he started to be involved in the ORM space and in full text technology. He joined the Hibernate team in 2003 and is now a lead developer at JBoss, a division of Red Hat. Emmanuel is the lead developer of Hibernate Annotations and Hibernate EntityManager, two key projects on top of Hibernate core implementing the Java Persistence(tm) specification. He has also lead the Hibernate Search project from its inception, reconsiling the two fields Emmanuel has been involved in: ORM and Full Text search. He is a regular speaker at various conferences and JUGs, including JavaOne, JBoss World and Javapolis (Javoxx). He is also involved in the Java Community Process as a specification lead for JSR 303 (Bean Validation) and as a expert group member for JSR 317 (Java Persistence 2.0). John Griffin has been in the software and computer industry in one form or another since 1969. He remembers writing his first FORTRAN IV program on his way back from Woodstock. Currently, he is the software engineer/architect for SOS Staffing Services, Inc. He was formerly the lead e-commerce architect for Iomega Corporation, lead SOA architect for Realm Systems and an independent consultant for the Dept of the Interior among many other callings. John has even spent time as an adjunct university professor. He enjoys being a committer to projects because he believes it's time to get involved and give back to the community. John is the author of XML and SQL Server 2000 published by New Riders Press. He is a member of the ACM. Currently, he resides in Layton, Utah with wife, Judy and Australian Shepherds, Clancy and Molly. Quotes A great resource for true database independent full text search. - Aaron Walker, base2Services It has completely changed the way I do complex search. Awesome! - Ayenda Rahien, Author of Building Domain Specific Languages in Boo Love its vast coverage--the definitive source. - Patrick Dennis, Management Dynamics Incs. Covers it all...the only source I need. - Robert Hanson, Author of GWT in Action A superb discussion of a complex topic. - Spencer Stejskal, SOS Staffing Services |
