I've been working from the 2nd Edition of Tom White's *Hadoop: The
Definitive Guide*, but that's still old API (0.20).  Are there any books in
print that use the new API?  Separating old-API vs. new-API examples that
you find on the internet can be tricky.

Well, I am writing "Hadoop in Practice," and I think it will be a good idea
to use only the new API - are there any pointers to verify my code uses only
that?

Thank you,
Mark

I'll volunteer to proof read & test it ;)

I've been meaning to get around to using the new API, just haven't had the time to learn it and convert all the existing MR jobs to it.

Not sure if you already know: the MapReduce examples are using the new API.  You
may want to take a look.

I have been looking at the example code that came with my install, which is
in the new API.  This is helpful, but it would also be good to have a
comprehensive reference.
