Course overview

With this course, you will learn the big data framework using Hadoop and Spark, including HDFS, YARN and MapReduce. The course will also cover Pig, Hive, and Impala to help you process and analyse large datasets stored in the HDFS and use Sqoop and Flume for data ingestion.  

Accelerate your data career with the Big Data, Hadoop and Spark Developer course

This big data course will teach you key concepts in the Hadoop framework and its formation in a cluster environment. Learn how to execute real-life, industry-based projects using CloudLab, enabling you to build expertise in handling and processing large data sets.   

Learning objectives

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:  

  • Understand the different components of a Hadoop ecosystem 
  • Understand Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), YARN architecture and MapReduce 
  • Use different types of file formats 
  • Understand Flume architecture, sources, sinks, channels and configurations 
  • Know the common use cases of Spark and various interactive algorithms 
  • Create databases and tables in Hive and Impala 
  • Gain a working knowledge of Pig and its components 
  • Implement and build Spark applications 
  • Create, transform and query data frames with Spark SQL  

What you'll learn

The Big Data, Hadoop and Spark Developer course provides you with a comprehensive understanding of big data technologies, focusing on the essential skills needed to handle large-scale data efficiently. You’ll learn core Hadoop concepts, dive into the Apache Spark framework, and discover how to use Spark for powerful data transformations.  

Introduction to big data

The course begins with an introduction to the world of big data. Explore what big data is, why it’s so critical in today’s data-driven environment, and how organisations across industries leverage it to gain insights and make better decisions. You will learn about the challenges posed by massive data sets, the principles behind big data processing, and the variety of tools and techniques that have emerged to handle this scale of information efficiently. 

Hadoop ecosystems

You’ll be introduced to the Hadoop ecosystem, the core framework for handling and processing large datasets. Learn about the key components, including the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) for scalable storage and MapReduce for data processing. Alongside these, you’ll explore essential ecosystem tools like YARN, which helps manage resources in distributed applications, and Hive and Pig, which facilitate data querying and analysis. 

Spark applications and techniques

Moving into Apache Spark, the course covers how you can use Spark for real-time and batch processing, allowing you to handle big data with greater speed and flexibility. You’ll learn about key components like RDDs (Resilient Distributed Datasets), data frames, and Spark SQL, each designed to support different types of data handling. The module also covers Spark’s applications for machine learning, graph processing, and streaming, making it a versatile tool in the big data landscape.
