I am interested in learning Hadoop. What books do you recommend for
beginners?

Also checkout Jimmy Lin and Chris Dyer's book

Data-Intensive Text Processing with MapReduce

http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~jimmylin/book.html

It focuses on programming in MapReduce and not specifically on Hadoop.

Hadoop: The Definitive Guide is best book to start with. I found Jason Venner's book to have a good amount of coverage that doesn't overlap with HTDG. Specifically if you are going to use the streaming apis.
