Cascading Example Project using Scala and Maven

I recently pushed an example project for using Cascading with Scala and Maven to http://github.com/tc/cascading-scala-maven-example.

I created it because the main Cascading examples are built using Ant and in Java. I find I am more productive with an integrated dependency management system like Maven and a higher level language like Scala.

With this example project, you can create a JAR file that you can use with any hadoop cluster by just using mvn package. You can also do mvn assembly:assembly to include all dependencies.

Check it out and hope it helps you get started in big data processing with Hadoop.
