Version	Location	Description	Submitted By

Printed	Page 65 Figure 3-2	The illustration in Figure 3-2 does not match the description given in the sidebox "Network Topology and Hadoop". 1. For d1/r2, the node is mislabelled as n1 (should be n3) 2. For d2, racks are mislabelled as 'r1' and 'rack' (should be 'r3' and 'r4') 3. For d2/r3, the node is mislabelled as n1 (should be n4) Note from the Author or Editor: I agree with all the corrections except for 'rack' which is there to indicate that this entity is a rack, so it doesn't need relabelling 'r4' (since r4 is never referred to in the text).
