Hi Ghunaim, I assume you would like to be a YARN contributor. May be my inputs can be of any help to you. Though I am not a contributor, I had to make changes to the YARN for my research. Hence I had to get an understanding of the code-base along with reading the textbook stuff. For that, I explored the code, made changes to the framework expecting a behaviour, broke it, asked the contributors for help regarding some specific issues and successfully made the changes for my project. I don't think textbooks talk at the code level. The best way to learn stuff is to play around with the framework apart from reading stuff. And as to what, where to start from, an actual contributor can give a good suggestion.
All the best. -Sandeep On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 12:35 PM, Ghunaim, Hussam < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone,Struggling New Developer! > > > After I studied a course in Hadoop and Mapreduce and wrote a couple of > basic jobs, I tried to participate in developing these technologies into > its next generation.
