Hi, this is not a book but an online course. The name is "Intro to Hadoop and MapReduce" and you can easily do it in a couple of hours. It's very basic but it gives you a good start when you come from nothing. And you even get a certificate if you want to. Good luck!

Hi, I'm not a specialist but:

Here is a reference tutorial on install and configure hadoop on single and multi-node cluster http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-single-node-cluster/ .

The course on udacity is such a great initiative, I will do this now (thanks Ruben Glatt).

This video recorded from Stanford University http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2xeNpfzsYI explain from one of the founders of Cloudera the core idea behind hadoop project.

This books if you can buy:

Hadoop and the projects on top of it are an awesome professional area nowadays.

Good Luck!

If you want to work with Hadoop with minimum resources, you probably will like offer of Hortonworks called "Hortonworks Sandbox" .

Here are useful liks:

Download VirtualBox image with pre-installed hadoop on -

Thanks dear Gurus. Hoping to benefit from all you shared with me.

Hello, you can make use of Hortonworks. So that you can see the output at that instance of time. Otherwise , you can make use of vmware and install linux,and then try Hadoop configuration. Have a look at http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2014/01/how-to-create-a-simple-hadoop-cluster-with-virtualbox/ OR http://architects.dzone.com/articles/hadoop-single-node-set

http://hadoop.apache.org/ is best link to start with basics of Hadoop and none other than "Hadoop:The Definitive Guide" book is good resource for learning the programming concept of Hadoop.
