Book: Data Algorithms Recipes for Scaling Up with Hadoop and Spark

Very nice book which teaches how to implement mechine learning and data mining techniques such as NBC, recommender, clustering, etc. Implemented in java, the book provides codes in both hadoop mapreduce and apache spark in simple-to-understand and clean manner. Have re-coded most of the algorithms in the book except for chapters dealing with some of the bio stuff which i am not particularly interested at the moment.

Online Course: Intro to Hadoop and MapReduce

Udacity Link: Intro to Hadoop and MapReduce

Very easy-to-learn course (should be able to finish the tutorial and course in around 1.5 hours), basically the user will learn how to write command lines to interact with Hadoop DFS and write simple mapper and reducer python scripts to process files in Hadoop DFS
