InfiniteLoop has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings Monks,
 This having been a boring week, I was catching up on http://hadoop.apache.org. A brief google search for perl interface(s) to hadoop came up with naught.
 My questions are: have you used hadoop ? Do you know of any way to use perl with hadoop ?

      I've been looking into the same question (and the perl monks discussion ranks pretty high according to Google when you search for perl hadoop).

      The following ranks higher, and seems somewhat new (as of .20 of Hadoop...?)

      Hadoop Streaming

      Seems plausible to me, anyone have any experience using the streaming approach?

      Thanks!

        I've added Hadoop::Streaming to cpan. This module aims to simplify the Streaming interface to Hadoop, by automating the input/output mapping. I found the initial module on github, then extended it with new features and tests and pushed it to CPAN.

        Please take a look and let me know how to make it more useful, especially to the new-to-hadoop and new-to-hadoop-streaming user! Specifically I've added new documentation to the root level Hadoop::Streaming, and I'd love feedback.

        Thank you,
        --spazm
