Spring for Apache Hadoop
NOTICE: The Spring for Apache Hadoop project will reach End-Of-Life status on April 5th, 2019. We will publish occasional 2.5.x maintenance releases as needed up until that point and will then move the project to the attic. The current Spring for Apache Hadoop 2.5.0 release is built using Apache Hadoop version 2.7.3 and should be compatible with the latest releases of the most popular Hadoop distributions.
Introduction
Spring for Apache Hadoop simplifies developing Apache Hadoop by providing a unified configuration model and easy to use APIs for using HDFS, MapReduce, Pig, and Hive. It also provides integration with other Spring ecosystem project such as Spring Integration and Spring Batch enabling you to develop solutions for big data ingest/export and Hadoop workflow orchestration.
Check out the book from O’Reilly Media Spring Data: Modern Data Access for Enterprise Java that contains several chapters on using Spring for Apache Hadoop. Sample code for the book is also available in the GitHub project spring-data-book.
