A couple of quick updates on the Hadoop book I'm writing. The Pig chapter is now available on Safari. It still has a few holes, but I'd love to hear feedback on it.
Also included is a Hadoop case study from Last.fm. Thanks to Adrian Woodhead and Marc de Palol for writing it.

First impression of the Pig chapter is very positive. I like the structure that you've chosen. More anon.
Thanks Geoff!
Hello Tom,
I have been reading your book in the RoughCuts version. I have a lot of interest in Hadoop and distributed computing n general. So, good work for the book!
I just read the use case on Last.fm. Nice Read!
Good Luck!
I recently start reading your Hadoop (RoughCuts) book and it is great. Looking forward to its completion.
Today I discovered your blog, which is even better. However, it would be good idea to link to your blog (perhaps via the book's forum).
The reason is that I just downloaded an updated PDF and wanted to find out what was new and modified. I sent support@oreilly an email making the suggestion of a 'release notes'. I got back a general email describing how to donwload PDFs from Safari... ;-)
My conclusion is, reading your blog answers my question of what is new/updated and perhaps adding that link I mentioned above to the RoughCuts page or its forum, might save some silly mail exchanges with support@oreilly.
BTW) please check out your book's forum from time to time. Previously, I left a question there, which perhaps I should repeat as a comment on one of your book related blog entries.
