Accessing Hadoop Data Using Hive

Hive is a data warehousing tool built on top of Hadoop. Learn how to easily query and analyze your Big Data projects with this free Apache Hive course.

SQL Access for Hadoop

Big SQL is another tool to work with your Hadoop data. Big SQL provides a common and familiar syntax for those that are already using SQL with their relational data to work with their big data. There is no learning curve here. Big SQL is about applying SQL to your existing data – there are no proprietary storage formats. This course will help you understand the Big SQL architecture and show the different methods for working with Big SQL. The course will list and explain the Big SQL data types and show how to create Big SQL schemas and table. The course will also cover the different file formats supported by Big SQL such as parquet and ORC. In the lab exercises, you will get a chance to learn how to connect to the Big SQL server and load in some sample data. Then you will see how easy it is to use Big SQL to work with the data.

Spark MLlIB

Spark provides a machine learning library known as MLlib. MLlib provides various machine learning algorithms such as classification, regression, clustering, and collaborative filtering. It also provides tools such as featurization, pipelines, persistence, and utilities for handing linear algebra operations, statistics and data handling.

Introduction to Data Science

The art of uncovering the insights and trends in data has been around since ancient times. The ancient Egyptians used census data to increase efficiency in tax collection and they accurately predicted the flooding of the Nile river every year. Since then, people working in data science have carved out a unique and distinct field for the work they do, this field is data science. In this course, we will meet some data science practitioners and we will get an overview of what data science is today.
