Unfortunately it usually works out to spending a few hours iterating on the functions in the REPL till it works great and then spending a week battling with Hadoop to make it actually run the way you intended it to. (no exaggeration here.)
Though we've been working with raw Hadoop; it sounds like Cascading makes it much less painful. We'll see how that goes.

My book lists are better than my wish lists, not just because there is stuff in the book lists that is not in the wish lists, but also because I take time to maintain the book lists and only include the really good stuff.
I'm planning to update my book lists soon with recommendations for statistics, AI, machine learning, and other treasures.
Here are my book lists as of now:
