Accepting contributions for the "Hadooop in Practice" book

[Mark Kerzner <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi, guys,

I am working on this book for Manning <http://www.manning.com/>, and I need
your solutions. If you had a specific problem that you solved with Hadoop,
and you can share your solution, even in general terms, I will accept it
from you and put it in the book. You will be mentioned as the person/company
who contributed this specific solution. Contributions about Pig, Hive,
Scaling, etc. are also welcome.

It does not have to be a formal documented description; a few written ideas
are enough, a phone conversation where you will explain the problem and the
solution will also be good, and if you can point me to something already out
on the web, that will be great. Like, for example, dealing with many small
files <http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2009/02/the-small-files-problem/>.

Thank you. Sincerely,
Mark
