HBase:The Definitive Guide book
Hi,
This book was recently mentioned here - 'HBase:The Definitive Guide'
<http://www.amazon.com/HBase-Definitive-Guide-Lars-George/dp/1449396100> .
How much would you say is that book still up-to-date and useful, as
concerning the time and new releases passed since it was written? HBase is
still evolving....
Thanks,
Matan

I can recommend the book. It contains very helpful chapters on advanced
features such custom filters and co-processors including examples to get
you started with your own implementations. Also, there are interesting
parts on what's going on under the "hood" of HBase. You missed Cyber Monday
on o'Reilly but the book is worth its price any day ;-)

Re: HBase:The Definitive Guide book

LOL...
No, I didn't. :-P
I just listed the 'must haves'.
To be honest...
I have all of these books in electronic form.
I need to copy over the HBase in Action to my iPad.
I'm not an Apple fanboi, but just being able to have a complete set of reference books in a single device that is searchable... And I can carry it around with me? Got to love that.
(Oh and I can use it as a remote browser and even a terminal too. )
Now Kevin, if you're not getting paid to endorse these books, then you need to. :-)
Dean Wampler keeps telling me the check is in the mail... now I know that the Dearborn Street Post office is slow, but its not that slow... :-P
(All said tongue in cheek!)
On a more serious note, both Manning and O'Riley offer discounts to user group members. Joining the local user group is free and its a nice perk.
So I really urge you guys to get involved in your local user groups and join the community. The money I save when purchasing these e-books via the discount, really covers my cost of the meetup.com site and then part of the vimeo site where we store the videos from our talks.
(Full disclosure, I founded CHUG and work with a group of good guys keeping it running.)
Now back to my second cup of coffee!

Mike missed a couple:
Hadoop Operations - Sammer
Hbase in Action - Nick Dimiduk and Amandeep Khurana
Full disclosure I work at Cloudera, but I don't get paid to endorse these
books. They are just good books.

Re: HBase:The Definitive Guide book

Heh Mike, it is aaaall for fame and glory....
The book is fairly current since I did target 0.92 of Hbase, and only a few things have changed since that would warrant an update. I am waiting for a 1.0 release now, which might be a renamed 0.96 if all agree. But until then I will wait and track what is going on.
Please note that I track the API changes on public classes with JDiff and update http://hbasebook.com. I haven't done that in a while I just noticed, so updating it now (check the "as of..." date, once I am done here it will switch to today's date).
With that you can roughly see what has changed as the public changes are really the only ones that would make it into the book.
What I am also planning on adding is my recent stuff on HBase sizing (www.slideshare.net/larsgeorge/hbase-sizing-notes) to give some ideas on how to plan out a cluster.
Ideally, I would assume that mid of next year is a reasonable timeframe for a refresh - of course all depending on how quickly we can get 1.0 out of the door :)

Re: HBase:The Definitive Guide book

Until Lars write the 2nd Edition, its still the best book out there talking about HBase.
(I think he's waiting for all those royalty checks to stop coming in. :-P JUST KIDDING LARS!)
In all seriousness, the core functionality won't change, and by this I mean that the basic framework to HBase will not change. Or change fast enough that it wound't be covered in the next edition.
Right now the 3-4 must have's on your book shelf are all O'Riley books : Tom White (3rd Ed) Hadoop, (Dean, Ed, Jason) Hive, Lars HBase, and Gates Pig.
Just IMHO ... I don't work for O'Riley or get paid to advertise Dean's book. ;-)

+1.
I'm still not fully done with it. Even if some parts might have chance
a bit since, it's still very accurate. And when there was some work in
progress to update some features, you have notes about that tht
recommands you to look at new versions.
Many parts are still totally up to date, like the key design, the main
HBase API, etc.
You have information about the performances, Ganglia, and so on.
I have HBase In Action also on my queue ;) I should start with it
before Chrismass.

This book deserves at least one cover to cover reading. As Adrien has said,
it explains everything in proper and sufficient detail, covering from the
basics to an advance level.

I'm writing this quick answer with my memories (I read this book maybe one
