mantaq10's review against another edition

Fantastic book written by the founder of Apache Storm who takes an architectural approach but sprinkled with code snippets to introduce and elaborate Lambda Architectures.
Too bad this particular pattern has become an edge case and better options like Kappa are out. Nevertheless, I keep on recommending this book to those new to big data.

Sadly not my kind of book. Starting with several examples that use "Gender". From a Gender-Field inside of the database that just knows "Male" and "Female" to an example that tries to guess the "Gender" based on the first name.
On top of that it is filled with unnecessary and bad diagrams that basically are explained in one sentence, but the authors thought that it might be good to also put 3 boxes and some arrows between them.
The source code examples are not very good too. With arrows pointing to explain what the code is doing. One hint: if you need 5 arrows explaining things in a 7 line function, maybe you should try to find a better code example that doesn't need this?
