docs/tutorials and getting started

[Ulises]

Hi,

Would it be useful to have some getting started docs. together with
the source? I know that that's potentially what the examples for but
perhaps a single document to go to might make sense?

I wrote article on use Clojure with Hadoop -
http://alexott.net/en/clojure/ClojureHadoop.html. I also thought to convert
it into markdown and distribute together with clojure-hadoop. Article
needs some updates to reflect latest changes -- currently it corresponds to
version 1.2

Yes, I've read it. I've also tried reproducing the example posted
there (by copy pasting mostly) and it didn't work (for one, Stuart's
1.2.0 version is not in clojars).

Hello

Yes, there is one problem with article and current code... I'll try to
do following - upload clojure-hadoop 1.2.0 to clojars, so you could
use it. Next step - update article to fresh version

Great, thanks!

I think that we'd need to have a good and easy entry point for
newcomers if we want the lib to be adopted, e.g. a clear indication as
to which version is preferred/stable, a good tutorial which includes
writing a hadoop job from scratch, etc. I'm happy to contribute to
these before anything else.

Cheers,

Hi

You can take source code for this article
(http://alexott.net/en/clojure/ClojureHadoop.muse), convert it to
markdown, and put onto clojure-hadoop's wiki

I found one problem with clojars - clojure-hadoop group is already
registered and owned by another person - I wrote to him asking to get
permission to publish there

P.S. I also created separate branch 'stable' (from 1.2.0 tag) - it
match to code, used in article

Sounds great, will do.

Any news regarding the licencing of the lib?

Great. I searched clojars for clojure-hadoop but there were many
versions and none of them seemed to work for me.

Thanks.

PS: If you have some time perhaps you could take a look at the other
email I sent to the list regarding the running of jobs from the
command line (as opposed to the repl)?
