You''ve heard the hype about Hadoop: it runs petabyte–scale data mining tasks insanely fast, it runs gigantic tasks on clouds for absurdly cheap, it''s been heavily committed to by tech giants like IBM, Yahoo!, and the Apache Project, and it''s completely open-source (thus free). But what exactly is it, and more importantly, how do you even get a Hadoop cluster up and running?
