Learning Path: Big Data Analytics

Learning Path: Big Data Analytics

In this course we’ll help you understand how Hadoop, as an ecosystem, helps us store, process, and analyze data.

Overview

Description
Massive amounts of data are being generated everyday, everywhere. As a result, a number of organizations are focusing on big data processing. In this course we’ll help you understand how Hadoop, as an ecosystem, helps us store, process, and analyze data. We will then smoothly move to developing large-scale distributed data processing applications using Apache Spark 2.
