Course Objectives:

This course enables the students to

  1. Define Hadoop and how can it help process large data sets.
  2. Understand how to write MapReduce programs using Hadoop API.
  3. How to use HDFS (the Hadoop Distributed Filesytem), from the command line and API, for effectively loading and processing data in Hadoop.
  4. Ingest data from a RDBMS or a data warehouse to Hadoop.
  5. Inculcate best practices for building, debugging and optimizing Hadoop solutions.
  6. Get acquainted with tools like Pig, Hive, HBase, Elastic MapReduce etc. and understand how they can help in BigData projects.

Learning and teaching strategies

Assessment Strategies

  1. Understand Sqoop architecture and uses. Able to load real-time data from an RDBMS table/Query on to HDFS Able to write sqoop scripts for exporting data from HDFS onto RDMS tables.
  2. Explore Apache PIG, PIG Data Flow Engine Understand data types, data model, and modes of execution.
  3. Store the data from a Pig relation on to HDFS.
  4. Load data into Pig Relation with or without schema.
  5. Split, join, filter, and transform the data using pig operators Able to write pig scripts and work with UDFs.
  6. Illustrate the role & importance of Hive and its Architecture to create Managed, External, Partitioned and Bucketed Tables.
