Apache Hadoop stands as the leading framework for processing Big Data across server clusters. Over the course of three days (with a fourth day available), participants will explore the business advantages and practical use cases of Hadoop and its ecosystem. The curriculum covers planning cluster deployment and scalability, as well as installing, maintaining, monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimising Hadoop. Attendees will also gain hands-on experience with bulk data loading on clusters, become familiar with various Hadoop distributions, and practice installing and managing tools within the Hadoop ecosystem. The course concludes with a discussion on securing clusters using Kerberos.

Apache Hadoop is the leading framework for processing Big Data across clusters of servers. This course introduces developers to the key components of the Hadoop ecosystem, including HDFS, MapReduce, Pig, Hive, and HBase.

Apache Hadoop stands as one of the most widely adopted frameworks for processing Big Data across server clusters. This course explores data management within HDFS, alongside advanced techniques in Pig, Hive, and HBase. These sophisticated programming methods are particularly advantageous for experienced Hadoop developers.

Audience: developers

Duration: three days

Format: lectures (50%) and hands-on labs (50%).

Target Audience:

This course aims to demystify big data and Hadoop technologies, demonstrating that they are accessible and straightforward to comprehend.

This instructor-led live training in Portugal (online or onsite) is aimed at system administrators who wish to learn how to set up, deploy and manage Hadoop clusters within their organisation.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Hadoop.
• Understand the four major components in the Hadoop ecoystem: HDFS, MapReduce, YARN, and Hadoop Common.
• Use Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to scale a cluster to hundreds or thousands of nodes.  
• Set up HDFS to operate as storage engine for on-premise Spark deployments.
• Set up Spark to access alternative storage solutions such as Amazon S3 and NoSQL database systems such as Redis, Elasticsearch, Couchbase, Aerospike, etc.
• Carry out administrative tasks such as provisioning, management, monitoring and securing an Apache Hadoop cluster.

This course provides an introduction to HBase, a NoSQL database built on top of Hadoop. It is designed for developers who intend to build applications using HBase, as well as administrators responsible for managing HBase clusters.

We will guide developers through HBase architecture, data modelling, and application development on the platform. The course also covers the integration of MapReduce with HBase and addresses key administration topics related to performance optimization. This is a highly practical course featuring numerous lab exercises.

Duration: 3 days
