TECHIE FESTIVAL | Introduction to Big Data with Hadoop and Spark (Lecture)

Monday, July 29, 2019 - 1:00pm to Tuesday, July 30, 2019 - 3:59pm
Polya Hall | RM 111 (Turing Auditorium)

Class Code: ITS-1916

Note: This is a lecture. A laptop is recommended, but not required. 

This lecture provides a non-intimidating introduction to Big Data Hadoop and Spark. We will get behind the scenes to understand the secret sauce of the success of Hadoop and other Big data technologies.

In this lecture, you will get an introduction to working with Big Data Ecosystem technologies (HDFS, MapReduce, Sqoop, Flume, Hive, Pig, Mahout (Machine Learning), R Connector, Ambari, Zookeeper, Oozie and No-SQL like HBase) for Big Data scenarios. It would provide the understanding of Big data ecosystem before and after Apache Spark. Finally, we will perform a demo on big data analysis using Apache Spark.

After this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand the History and background of Big data and Hadoop
  • Describe the Big Data landscape including examples of real-world big data problems
  • Explain the 5 V's of Big Data (volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value)
  • Understand the foundational principles that have made Big Data so successful
  • Provide an explanation of the ecosystem components like HDFS, MapReduce, Sqoop, Flume, Hive, Pig, Mahout (Machine Learning), R Connector, Ambari, Zookeeper, Oozie and No-SQL like HBase
  • Understand the various offerings like Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR, Amazon EMR and Microsoft Azure HDInsight in the industry around Big data on cloud and on Premise
  • Understand the impact and value of Apache Spark in the Big Data Ecosystem
