Introduction to Hadoop - London - 2-Day Training Course

Description:

1. Course description.

This two-day training course explores major characteristics and functionalities of Apache Hadoop platform and its ecosystem of tools for Big Data processing and analysis. The course provides a first-hand practical experience in Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and MapReduce frameworks by the means of a number of presentations and tutorials during which the attendees will learn how to design and perform simple MapReduce programs to process the data and calculate a set of statistics. The course can also serve as a gentle introduction to the basics of Java programming language and essential Hadoop File System shell commands. During the course you will learn to:

• understand the features, major characteristics, architecture and operations of Hadoop and its ecosystem including, Yet Another Resource Negotiator (YARN), Hadoop Distributed File System, MapReduce programming framework and other Hadoop-related tools e.g. HBase, Hive, Cassandra, Mahout and Pig etc.,
• monitor and diagnose the performance of Apache Hadoop clusters and their resources using Apache Ambari and control the deployed services through Apache ZooKeeper,
• manage large datasets in Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) using Hadoop File System shell commands,
• design and execute simple MapReduce parallel programs (written in Java) to calculate various statistics and control their performance in real-time,
• implement learnt skills to build and provision Hadoop-based Big Data applications.

During the course the attendees will perform several simple MapReduce jobs on a Linux-based Mind Project Hadoop cluster.

2. Programme.

The course will run for two days from 9:30am until ~5:00pm on each day and will consist of alternating lecture-style presentations and practical tutorials. The example datasets used during tutorial sessions will come from social sciences, economics and business fields, however the contents may vary depending on specific interests of participants (based on the Participant's Skills Inventory). There will be two 15-minute coffee/tea breaks and one 1-hour lunch break on each day.
