Efficient Big Data Processing in Hadoop MapReduce

Summary: Tutorial on efficient Hadoop MapReduce performance, covering optimization techniques, data layouts, and indexes to boost big-data processing. Contrasts with parallel DBMS, frames unresolved research questions, and outlines a three-part structure to bridge the performance gap to well-tuned databases.
