10 MapReduce and Hadoop Tips

Tom White (an author of upcoming book called Hadoop: The Definitive Guide and Cloudera consultant) posted nice article at Cloudera blog: 10 MapReduce Tips. Among others it gives you short but useful overview of many technologies and tools around Hadoop and how they fit into the picture (Pig, Hive, Streaming ... etc).

BTW: Tom's book brings the best explanation of MapReduce basics I have red so far. I am really looking forward the final version of his book.
