I think that there are... Since you work in databases, have you looked at HBase? The reason the word count example is nice is that anyone can get a bunch of word / text documents freely from the web.
Having completed the word count, pi approximation, historical temp calculation... Do you have access to actual data? I mean if you were Sears, Kroger, HomeDepot, IKEA,... Large retailers with lots of PoS data, you could try to find out whats the big holiday sellers... Or I guess if you can get your hands on twitter data... ( I dont know... I don't tweet) you can start to think of writing your own examples... Actually that would probably be a better way to learn it... Oh and one last idea...
