Acknowledgments

I would like to thank my wife, Bimalee, my son, Kaveen, and my daughter, Yasali, for putting up with me for all the missing family time and for providing me with love and encouragement throughout the writing period. I would also like to thank my parents and siblings. Without their love, guidance, and encouragement, I would not be where I am today.

I really appreciate the contributions from my coauthor, Dr. Srinath Perera, for the first edition of this book. Many of his contributions from the first edition of this book have been adapted to the current book even though he wasn't able to coauthor this book due to his work and family commitments.

I would like to thank the Hadoop, HBase, Mahout, Pig, Hive, Sqoop, Nutch, and Lucene communities ...
