Chapter 11. Where to Go Next
This book has, as the title suggests, sought to give a beginner to Hadoop in-depth knowledge of the technology and its application. As has been seen on several occasions, there is a lot more to the Hadoop ecosystem than the core product itself. We will give a quick highlight of some potential areas of interest in this chapter.
In this chapter we will discuss:
What we covered in this book
What we didn't cover in this book
Upcoming Hadoop changes
Alternative Hadoop distributions
Other significant Apache projects
Alternative programming abstractions
