Best Books to Master Apache Hadoop Yarn

This tutorial will list best books to learn and master Apache Hadoop Yarn. Apache YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) is one of the key features in the second-generation Hadoop 2 version of the Apache Software Foundation’s open source distributed processing framework.

YARN is being considered as a large-scale, distributed operating system for big data applications. Hadoop yarn is the resource management layer of Apache Hadoop.

Here is our recommendation for some of the best books to learn YARN. Some of them are Big data Hadoop YARN books for beginners.

They will give you complete reference from basics to advance level to learn YARN and start your career in this booming technology Big data Hadoop with its latest features including YARN.
