[Lightner, Jeff]

Interesting – Right after seeing this I got a link from HP about Hadoop as well:

Hadoop is a cluster solution for crunching large amounts of data from different sources. It's pretty cool technology- We  use it where I work for BI.

  I've had the name hadoop thrown at me a few times recently.  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.

  Looks like drupal is next.

Thanks all,
  Robert
