Hi Josh/all, It's been a couple of months since my team started using Crunch for our mapreduce. It has been a great tool, simplifying may problems and increasing productivity. I personally found it quicker to pick up than cascading, which I think has a steeper learning curve. My main sources of learning crunch so far have been the javadocs, crunch user-list, crunch source code, crunch-examples and some online articles explaining how crunch works. One place where I found crunch lagging is the need for a user guide or how-to documentations, something on the lines of cascading user-guides, which I would say has been really useful for its user-base. Is such a user-guide coming up soon? That will be of great help for the crunch user community.
Thanks, Som
