Word Counter

This is a very simple "Hello World" kind problem to illustrate the different aspects of leveraging Map Reduce pattern with Hadoop.

This forms a basis for my Hadoop and Big Data sessions and in this repository I will start with this and drive various variations that illustrate hadoop concepts and infrastructure.

Added the maven infrastructure to streamline building the code base.

To create the jar using maven run the following command.

$ mvn install

Maven creates the wordcount-<version>.jar file in the target directory.
