How can I learn hadoop through projects?

What are some good open source projects involving the use of Hadoop/Hbase for somebody who wants to learn/use them in a real-world scenario ?

  • I have experience on C++/Python/Java/Perl . I understand the basic concepts of MapReduce  and distributed computing but want a practical way to understand the need and use for such systems in dealing with large amounts of data. I think the best way to learn is to get involved in a project that already leverages the above frameworks.

  • Answer:

    is a project using Hadoop as infrastructure for machine learning. You can start with the Quickstart page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/Quickstart and work your way through the examples.

You may also want to take a look at disco (http://discoproject.org/). It's a good way to begin writing distributed code and learn about the concepts and fundamentals of distributed computing. The disco documentation is also pretty comprehensive.
