Introduction to Hadoop streaming

On 4 August 2011, I gave a talk to the Atlanta Perl Mongers on using Hadoop streaming as a framework for using map-reduce with Perl (and other non-JVM-based languages). For this talk, I used a slide deck titled "Map-reduce Using Perl" written by Phil Whelan; this talk was originally presented at Vancouver Perl Mongers in August 2009. Other resources mentioned in my presentation included:

• • the Wikipedia articles on MapReduce and Hadoop

  • the original MapReduce article by Jeffrey Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat

  • the Hadoop::Streaming CPAN module

  • the Hadoop web site
