[Hadoop-common-user] porting hadoop in Android

Far as I can tell, Hadoop was never implemented with the Dalvik
compatibility in mind (or even mobile telephony devices, for that
matter), and nor were most of its used libraries (but it might be of
interest to them to do so). I haven't heard of Hadoop being run on the
Android platform as well. [With the possible exception of [0]].

There's an alternative implementation for Map/Reduce called 'Misco'
[1] though, but it wasn't implemented for Android exactly. Maybe it'd
interest you to look into that.

Hi,

I am a new to Hadoop and want to learn it. I am a JAVA programmer and
have been working on SOA apps. Any pointers to the tutorials or books
would be really helpful. Also, any help on machine configuration would
be helpful as well so that I may arrange for the same.

Thank you.

Hi Palak,

Following links might help to get started with Hadoop :

http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-single-node-cluster/
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/mapred_tutorial.html
http://developer.yahoo.com/hadoop/tutorial/index.html

Besides these, Hadoop wiki contains many other useful resources. And the
book "Hadoop : The Defivitive Guide" by Tom White would be of great help as
well.
