1.0 out of 5 stars Essentially just a collection of high level blog posts
It's basically a very high level description of well known big data tools. You could probably get the same amount of info from just Googling "what is Hadoop". If this is meant to be a 'bible' for big data architects then I am genuinely concerned about the future of our industry.
