Figure 2-1 |
In Figure 2-1, beside the arrow between "HDFS" and "DataNode", it says "xceiver", but I think it should be the previously noted misspelling "xciever" (in the "Datanode Handlers" section on page 51 of the PDF). I don't know enough about the details to know if the variation in spelling is intentional or not.
Note from the Author or Editor:
I agree, either "xciever (sic), or fully named "Data Transceiver" or similar. |

Grammatical mistake, double negative:
"... to reflect that no region of this table is not deployed to any servers."
should just be
"... to reflect that no region of this table is deployed to any servers."
Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct, this is a typo. Thanks. |

"int getRequestsCount() The current number of requests across all regions’ servers in the cluster."
I think this should instead be
"int getRequestsCount() The current number of requests across all region servers in the cluster."
Note from the Author or Editor:
Indeed, that is a typo. Thanks. |

tip |
In " This is also the reason why the output key format of the job is set to Writable, instead of the explicit Put class.", "key" should be "value".

2nd paragraph |
The first sentence of the 2nd paragraph:
"The structure starts with two fixed-length numbers indicating the size and value of the key. "
Should be:
"The structure starts with two fixed-length numbers indicating the size of the key and the size of the value "
Note from the Author or Editor:
Confirmed, that sentence is wrong and needs correcting as suggested. |

Figure 8-10 |
Figure 8-10 has a few minor flaws:
1) The title in right gray box should be "Store: ColFam2" (and not "Store: ColFam1"). Each gray box is a representation on a separate column family.
2) The table on the right should have all "cf2" prefixes, not the "cf1" that is listed. This is because it is a zoomed-in version of the entries in column family 2.
3) The first timestamp in the table on the right is wrong. It should be "ts2"
4) In continuation to 3), for the sake of clarity, it might be better to rename "v1" in that same row to "v2", assuming the user stored a new value in the column.
5) And finally, it might be better to name all values with the same number as the timestamp.

Figure 9-1 |
In Figure 9-1, in Storefile "cf2/1234", the third row should be r3:cf2:c1:t1:<value>
Note from the Author or Editor:
Yes, that is a typo in the artwork. Needs to be fixed in the next edition. |

Figure 9-1 |
The table on the bottom right should have the third row saying "r3:cf2:c1:t1:<value>". The mistake in the figure is that the row falsely states "c2" for the column qualifier, as opposed to the correct "c1".

Figure 9-1 |
The figure 9-1 on the lower left hand side, second light orange box is missing a dash. It should be reading "r1:cf1:c1-<value>:t1:\x00". The dash is an example for a divider between the key and the "shifted" value. Here is forms a compound key between the column qualifier and the value.

3rd paragraph |
"byte[] rowkey = Bytes.add(Bytes.toBytes(prefix), Bytes.toBytes(timestamp);" should be "byte[] rowkey = Bytes.add(Bytes.toBytes(prefix), Bytes.toBytes(timestamp));". In other words, a ")" is missing.
Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct, there is a closing bracket missing. |

Typo indeed. Should be the expected $HBASE_HOME. |

Subsection "Close ResultScanners" |
One can read "HTable,getScanner()" instead of "HTable.getScanner()". There should be a period instead of a comma between "HTable" and "getScanner".

2nd line of "Turn off WAL on Puts" |
writeToWAL() should be setWriteToWAL().
There is no method named writeToWAL() in Put class.
Put class has writeToWAL field and setWriteToWAL() as its setter.
