I'm trying to figure out why I would run it as a System Engineer with basic html skills. Can anyone shed some light on a "common" use and what it would provide above and beyond just apache and a load balancer (I did say I'm just starting to read). I'd love to see any good starter info/sites as well. I looked at the Hadoop project page which is light on "why you would use this" and I'm still reading the wikipedia page.<div>
