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.
