Acknowledgements

From Mark
I would like to express gratitude to my editors, co-authors, colleagues, and bosses who shared the thorny path to working clusters - with the hope to make it less thorny for those who follow. Seriously, folks, Hadoop is hard, and Big Data is tough, and there are many related products and skills that you need to master. Therefore, have fun, provide your feedback, and I hope you will find the book entertaining.

From Sujee
To the kind souls who helped me along the way
