Apache Hadoop stands as the leading framework for processing Big Data across server clusters. During this three-day course (with an optional fourth day), participants will explore the business advantages and practical applications of Hadoop and its surrounding ecosystem. The curriculum covers cluster deployment planning, expansion strategies, and the installation, maintenance, monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimization of Hadoop. Attendees will gain hands-on experience with bulk data loading on clusters, become familiar with various Hadoop distributions, and practice installing and managing ecosystem tools. The course concludes with a discussion on securing clusters using Kerberos.

“…The materials were very well prepared and covered thoroughly. The Lab was very helpful and well organized”

Apache Hadoop stands as one of the most widely adopted frameworks for managing Big Data across server clusters. This course offers an in-depth exploration of data management within HDFS, alongside advanced applications of Pig, Hive, and HBase. These sophisticated programming techniques are designed to provide significant value to experienced Hadoop developers.

Audience: developers

Duration: three days

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

Target Audience:

This course aims to simplify big data and Hadoop technology, demonstrating that it is accessible and not overly complex to learn.

This instructor-led live training in Norway (online or onsite) is designed for system administrators who wish to learn how to set up, deploy, and manage Hadoop clusters within their organizations.

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.

The program guides developers through HBase architecture, data modeling, and application development. It also covers the integration of MapReduce with HBase and addresses key administration topics related to performance optimization. The training is highly practical, featuring numerous lab exercises.

Duration: 3 days
