We are somewhat new to Ha= doop and are looking to run some experiments with HDFS, Pig, and HBase.=C2= =A0

With that in mind, I have= a few questions:

What is the easiest (pref= erably free) Hadoop distro to get started with?=C2=A0 Cloudera?

What host OS distro/relea= se is recommended?

What is the easiest envir= onment to get started with?=C2=A0 Amazon EC2? =C2=A0Is there anyone offerin= g virtual/hosted prebuilt Hadoop instances?

Where would we find some = =E2=80=9Cbig data=E2=80=9D files that people have used for testing purposes= ?

Feel free to RTFM me to t= he right place ;-)

Thanks, john

=C2=A0
